I ALWAYS enjoy abstract water coloring because it takes literally no artistic talent to create gorgeous abstract effects. My brain really responds to color; it brings me joy. Creating these abstractions is nothing but playtime and discovery of happy accidents! In this class we will explore the fun and experimental side of watercolor painting. We will be manipulating watercolors using techniques that will later lend well to texturing traditional watercolor paintings.
