Playful Watercolor For Beginners - Paint A Magical Feather Bookmark With The Wet-on-Wet Technique

WHAT WE WILL COVER
We will briefly discuss watercolor supplies
You will have the opportunity to experiment with a wet-on-wet watercolor technique and play with color
You will have the freedom to experiment with different colors to create something truly magical. I will not be telling you what colors to use or how to mix them. I am encouraging you to make a swatch sheet of all your watercolors today and then choose your current favorites to make your final bookmark with. There are NO wrong answers!
We will also explore the possibilities when adding inky or painterly details on top of your dried watercolors to add a whole new layer of fun and interest to your paintings.
I believe art-making should be fun and stress-free, so this class encourages experimentation and play! It's the best way to learn!
YOUR PROJECT:
The final project for this class will be a feather bookmark, where you will combine watercolor with inky details to create a beautiful and functional piece of art.
Melanie will provide step-by-step guidance and tips for creating a stunning bookmark that you can use for yourself or gift to someone special.
