CLASS DESCRIPTION
This class will focus on simplification. Simplification is the best means of planning and transforming what you see in a painting. The overall objective is to show the vast range and flexibility of watercolor and to put emotion and conviction into painting by exploring, experimenting and developing the creativity of each individual.
