Wildflowers at Golden Hour

The end of summer brings lush fields full of wildflowers, and glowing golden sunsets. We’ll study some common Ohio wildflowers to capture their vibrant hues, and start class with a demonstration on water techniques with an opportunity to practice brush strokes and color mixing with one on one feedback from the instructor. Then you’ll get to work on your final piece, and you will leave class with a painting that represents a field full of wildflowers, waving and flowing in the golden evening sun.

During class, you’ll also be able to sip on a glass of wine, giving the evening a perfect ‘evening in the garden’ feel to wind down your week!

All supplies are included. All levels welcome- perfect for anyone looking to learn watercolor fundamentals while creating a beautiful nature inspired painting.
