We’ll fill the studio with June flowers and let the gorgeous wildness of flowers and color blooming in water guide our picture-making. We’ll play with color mixing and intensity and lightness and the unknown paths our brushes and our imaginations might take us to create lyrical watercolor flowers and gardens of our own from life and from our imaginations.

Deborah will be your guide and encourager to inspire and surprise you into discovering new marks and colors. We'll practice techniques to loosen our grip on the brush and our ideas of what water + color can be. Best of all, there will be advice for using watercolor in all kinds of fun ways, especially to suit your own unique way of working. 

All skill levels welcome and materials provided and but feel free to bring your favorite paintbrush and LDBA palette!
