Introduction to Watercolor: Birches

Event Phone: 715-479-4060

If you ever wanted to try watercolor but didn’t know where to start, this class is for you.

In this three and a half hour session, participants will be introduced to a painting method that simplifies these lovely trees. By using brushes, pigment and a few simple tools, we will apply paint to create an interesting focal point. The afternoon will consist of basic instruction, demonstration and also paint time.
