I'm sharing my original award-winning design of my watercolor-pouring dragonfly! 

Confident beginners to advanced students will enjoy this innovative workshop. The background is created by pouring watercolor paint on the prepared paper and allowing it to dry. Each participant will use a tin roaster pan to catch all the drips. After the background dries thoroughly, the dragonfly subject matter is inked and painted. We will have a morning session to paint and begin the dragonfly image. (There will be a break for lunch—bring your own, or we can order lunch.) After lunch, we will continue to paint the dragonfly, and I’ll show you techniques to create the 3-D illusion of this weightless beauty.

For an all-inclusive fee of $55.00 per student, you will receive a 300-lb Watercolor paper surface, supplies, materials, an archival black ink pen, a complete instructional guide, and the venue fee. You can also use my watercolor brushes and other supplies to create the project. Feel free to bring your own supplies, such as your favorite brushes, paints, alcohol inks, and pastels, to enhance your painting.
