Start your journey in watercolors with this two-day workshop taught by experienced instructor Jeff Williams. On the first day, Jeff will focus on drawing and watercolor basics. On the second day, the class will create a landscape painting using the techniques learned on the first day. This workshop will provide you with what you need to get started with a watercolor practice on your own!
