Workshop Description: To watercolor artists of all levels, applying color with confident and intuitive brushwork is a critical foundation as well as ongoing exploration. In the three-day workshop, artists will explore this subject in both landscape and portrait painting. The goal is to help each individual build their own approaches to brushwork that make paint flow lively. There will be focused exercises, demos, critiques, and work sessions.
