Relax and enjoy

Take the time and enjoy how to move water and color and washes of color. Learn to avoid blooms, and add elements to create your story.

Set the Mood


It's a simple idea, but knowing how much water and color to use, the type of paper, and when to stop can be challenging.

In this workshop, our goal will be to create washes of color and push beyond what you think it should look like to layer color with seamless washes, then if you like add a moon, sun, or sailboat. Use the reference photo or you can easily use your imagination as inspiration.

Begin with washes of color and exercises to help give you all the tools you need to create paintings that you will love.
