This two-day intensive workshop is designed for serious young artists ages 9–12 who want to deepen their skills in realistic watercolor painting. Students will work from high-quality wildlife references to create a finished animal portrait using observational drawing, layered washes, and careful attention to detail.
Instruction emphasizes patience, craftsmanship, and seeing like an artist. While the workshop is age-appropriate, it maintains high artistic standards and a calm, studio-style environment. Each student will complete a finished watercolor painting by the end of the second day.
Ages: 9-12
Schedule:
Monday, February 16 from 9:00am-3:00pm
Tuesday, February 17 from 9:00am-3:00pm
