from $25.00

Class Description

Do you have a bunch of watercolors lying around that just aren’t working for you? Or are you excited by florals, but somehow yours are missing a punch? Join Miriam in this fun workshop on creating and/or rescuing paintings that you want to pop off the page with excitement and color and texture! You can do your painting the day of the workshop or start a drawing to bring to the online workshop.

Choosing the papers from scraps, handmade papers, wrapping papers, or other old watercolors we will adhere them with Mod Podge to create a completed piece. Think about using found materials, leaves, yarns, twigs and unique items for backgrounds, flora and fauna. Go wild with wildflowers!

Duration: Class typically runs for 90 minutes, but may run longer depending on the number of participants. Class will consist of live demonstrations with students working along with the instruction. There will be time for questions and answers.

Please make sure you can attend the class you signed up for as we cannot transfer tuition. Due to privacy issues we will not be able to distribute videos of these live classes. Thank you.
