Summer Skills Clinic: Botanical Watercolor

---

Led by talented artists and instructors, this day of the clinic will focus on botanical watercolor skills. Two instructors will guide you through specific areas of growth. You'll work on an assigned project for the morning and noon sessions and may bring in finished pieces or works in progress for professional critique in the afternoon.

This in-person session will boost proficiency and confidence as you strive to hone your technique in this lifelong learning discipline.

Morning: Flat washes, graded washes and dry brush are the foundation of successful watercolor rendering. Using neutral tint, you'll work with instructors to overcome problematic techniques without the use and complication of color.

Midday: Continue to perfect your technique as you introduce color matching and layering. You'll practice good habits for mixing and maintaining color matches.

Afternoon: Students are invited to bring in works in progress and completed pieces for instructor assistance and critique of watercolor pieces.

Prerequisite: Botanical Watercolor I
