This three day workshop is tailored for beginners and covers everything from start to framing. Paint this beautiful 9x12 inch, Birch and Blooms, scene with local Minnesotan artist, Caroline Porter. Gain confidence by mastering key watercolor concepts and become comfortable with common watercolor terminology. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by watercolors, set your mind at ease. Students will practice each technique before painting on the final artwork. End the workshop by proudly displaying your masterpiece. Students will be introduced to different framing equipment and learn ways for making framing more affordable for any beginner.

Important Notes:

Instructor will provide a frame for each student, however, it is understood frames are of personal taste. Therefore, students are welcome to provide their own. Sizes of provided frames will most likely range between 11x14 and 12x16 inches. Material of the frame will most likely be wood and glass (no plexiglass). Students will have an opportunity to view frames on the first day of class.

Instructor will provide all necessary materials for this class, however, if you would like to use your own materials (i.e. paints or brushes), students are more than welcome to bring them. Feel free to bring a notebook and take notes. It is encouraged to practice what you learn during this workshop at home.
