SESSION 2: Wet into Wet Application of Watercolor and Lyrical Mark Making using Tropicals

In this session, we will explore the nature of water as it relates to watercolor painting and the tropical plant collection (esp. orchids) in order to discover how to create expressive paintings. This class will focus on learning to use the amazing pattern and colors of the natural world as a jumping-off point for your own work.
