In this class, we are going to play and experiment with Watercolor Powders and a few of our favorite supplies to do some mark-making on top of our abstracts to finish. These powders are super cool and come in a variety of brands. We are going to explore how to use them and the looks we can get.

We are going to create several different small abstract paintings in class today. Any of these techniques can be used in larger paintings - so don't be afraid to go bigger once you start to really play and love what you are getting.

I truly enjoy these intuitive sessions. We get to play and experiment. Letting go of expectations and just having some fun. These times are what allow you to grow as an artist and have fun creating in unexpected ways.

This class is for you if:

You love learning new techniques for your art
You are interested in experimenting and creating in a more intuitive way. Letting go of expectations and exploring your materials.
You love watching how others approach their art practice

Supplies:

These are the supplies I'll be using in class today. Feel free to substitute and play with any materials you have on hand.
