Artists of all experience levels will learn the basics of watercolor as we learn and practice techniques specifically useful when painting birds. Over the two week course, students will complete two paintings of two species of bird. Participants will be required to bring their own supplies - a list of recommended items will be distributed in the coming weeks.
