Learn the methods and ethics of using photographs, and how to create beautiful watercolor paintings, using either your own or Plantations’ photographs. Previous drawing experience is recommended. Please bring a #3 watercolor brush, a basic watercolor set, 140-pound smooth hot press watercolor paper, a drawing or foam core board, 1 1/2" masking tape, an HB and 4H pencil, a kneaded eraser, palette, rag, jar for water, and plant photos if desired.
