Concept
Painting in watercolor is somewhere between chaos and control. In this workshop, build confidence with the medium that is best known for its lively spontaneity. Create fresh, dynamic paintings as you learn how to give up control and allow watercolor to be its best self; fluid and loose.
Experience
Each day Dan demonstrates how to take a big brush approach to painting and leave the details behind. Many photo references are provided, although you are welcome to bring your own. Plenty of individual guidance is provided, as well as a casual group critique to close the workshop each day.
Skill Level
Basic watercolor experience is required. This workshop will build your confidence.
