Watercolor Winter Scapes | March 12th, 10:30AM at LowCo Cafe

We are so excited to offer a *NEW* workshop: Watercolor Winterscapes! These landscape vignettes combine the wet-on-wet and layering techniques to create a calming winter scene you’ll want to jump right into! These winter watercolor scenes are just lovely and quite simple to make. We’ll embrace the winter season and celebrate the Full Moon by gathering in creativity.

We’ll start the workshop off with some watercolor basics and practice time, then create (2) different watercolor scenes. Because layering is involved, there might be some downtime while waiting for each layer to dry, so we’ll take a break in the middle to refill our coffees and relax together.

All skill levels welcome.  Registration in advance required.

Children 10+ welcome (must be accompanied by an adult).
