This workshop course is about the exploration and understanding of color and edges using: watercolor, acrylic, and oil. The focus will be how to approach blending and edges through color choice and painting techniques that will offer students a new way to observe life and photo references. All skill levels welcome - although some previous experience in any of these mediums will be helpful. Students will have time to watch demos, and work on their own paintings (as well as, bringing any personal work they need help with).
