This workshop will give participants an introduction to watercolor pencil art. Watercolor pencil is one of the easier watercolor art types as it is so portable it can go virtually go anywhere in a small bag or pouch.
All supplies are provided for participants to use before participants would invest in their own art materials. Those in the workshop will select their own watercolor pencil project from dozens of sample pictures provided. Each participant will have a total finished art work by the end of the workshop ready for display.
For those that have never done any art before or participants who think they have no art ability, this workshop will show that anyone can produce a good work of art by just following a few basic directions.
These workshops are intentionally limited to six (6) participants so that all can have success.
The Watercolor Pencil art workshop will include a black picture mat and a white glass frame for each finished art work that participants will assemble in the workshop and take home. This will give each participant a total finished art work by the end of the workshop ready for display.
Note: All supplies and materials are provided for use for this workshop - anyone who would like to purchase a watercolor pencil art kit they are available on pre-order for $25 and include:
Set of wood-less watercolor pencils
Brush set
