Join illustrator Lena Shiffman for a fun and relaxing watercolor workshop. Learn how to sketch with your watercolors, forgetting about pencil lines and instead becoming loose and free with your paint. Students will be painting different objects from life, creating work that appears fresh and effortless. Some knowledge about watercolor will be helpful, but not necessary. All levels welcome.
