Capture the beauty of nature with expressive strokes of color using our freestyle approach to watercolor. Create dramatic bleeds and blossoms in no time, explore different types of brushes, experiment with other tools. Follow along with us and watch your own creative style emerge. Freestyle Watercolor is loose, fun and fast! You will gain a new way of looking at nature and learn to paint glowing compositions with minimal strokes.
Our in-person workshops are themed to reflect the season and location. Learn while watching live painting demonstrations and plenty of one-on-one instruction. Immerse yourself in the day, learn something new and leave with artwork and inspiration!
