Carol's workshop is a perfect opportunity for the beginner painter as well as the experienced painter to learn techniques enabling them to complete successful watercolor paintings. Carol shares her step-by-step approach to painting with students of all levels. All projects include written instructions, a line drawing and a color photo. Drawing ability is not necessary, allowing the student to focus on the mechanics of painting. Carol paints watercolor with an emphasis on wet into wet watercolor techniques. Each day of class will include a separate project with the expectation of going home with completed paintings. Carol's relaxed teaching style creates a fun and stress-free class environment.
