Carol Cooper Watercolor Workshop
This will be a fun exploration of a variety of watercolor techniques and styles. There will be a focus on texture, color, and composition. We will be working from loose realism to abstraction. Many surprises! Each project will demonstrated with lots of one-on-one help. Most of our projects will be small, but you may work as large as you wish.
Skill level:
Beginner – Advanced. Beginners are encouraged to jump in and have fun.
The more advanced painters will be challenged and supported as well.
