Get up close and personal with nature in this watercolor class with artist and educator Katherine Billeci. Choose a landscape or a botanical specimen to capture in vivid watercolors and ink. With guidance from your instructor, you’ll learn to use pen ink to map out your drawing, and then bring the page to life in bold hues using watercolor.
This class is open to artists of all levels of experience, even if you’ve never touched a paintbrush. You’ll learn how ink and watercolor can work together to create an eye-catching piece of art, and end the day with a personal painting to take home.
