Dragonflies: Next Level Watercolor Workshop

Capture the delicate beauty and shimmer of dragonflies in this relaxing, beyond-the-basics watercolor workshop. You’ll learn how to paint graceful dragonfly forms using transparent watercolor techniques, then elevate your artwork with luminous metallic watercolors that catch the light and add an enchanting finish.

This class is best suited for students with a general knowledge of watercolor techniques such as wet on wet, wet on dry, lifting, and how to execute a flat wash.
