Class runs 930 - 330 each day

Held @ : My Sketchy Friends Studio 1063 Ganske Road, North Qualicum

This is a TRUE beginner class. For those who have never used ANY art medium or those new to watercolour We are all there to discover the ways we can use the characteristics of this medium to make beautiful art. This is a full 2 days to acquire the skills needed to harness the three factors that you need to allow the magic of watercolor to shine through. We will be working on simple designs and projects to achieve this. We will focus on the three factors of water, paint and paper. This is a skills class so meant to be fun and and enjoyable way to start with watercolor. ( See the info below on how to register )
