In this class I will show you how to paint a variety of deciduous trees using plastic wrap,

masking fluid & a plastic card or palette knife.

In the process you will learn some basic watercolor techniques such as

wet-into-wet, wet-into-dry, as well as dry brushing. I will show you

how to create lacy patterns for foliage, as well as a variety of painting

techniques to create texture in the various tree trunks.

We will be painting Birch Trees, A Flowering Fruit Tree and An Oak

Tree in this class.

Whether you are a beginner, or an experienced watercolorist this class

is sure to teach you new and useful watercolor techniques to enhance

and bring new excitement to your watercolor landscapes!
