Limited to 10 people, No experience necessary, supplies provided (see note below)
*NOTE: Simple watercolor sets will be available to use, along with a variety of brushes, pencils, color wheels, boards and 140# watercolor paper.
If you have a set of watercolor paints you love to use, bring what you have. Same with brushes. We’ll need a pencil and an art or kneaded eraser. Any pencils will do. You can work in a sketchbook if you have one, or on loose watercolor paper. 140# cold press is best but bring what you have or are comfortable using. 9x12 paper is big enough, we won’t be working any bigger than that.
