Botanical Watercolor Painting with Sarah Crossman
Following the spring iris class, we’re excited to offer a second, all-new workshop with artist Sarah Crossman – this time inspired by a seasonal summer bloom. The artistic subject will be a classic heat-loving annual flower from the daisy family, like a zinnia or cosmos.
Perfect for all skill levels -- participants will learn step-by-step how to create a finished painting from the provided reference image. Sarah will demonstrate essential watercolor techniques, including washes, wet-on-wet, and dry brush, offering plenty of individual guidance throughout the session.
You’ll leave with a completed painting and a solid foundation to continue your watercolor practice at home.
Materials are provided, but feel free to bring any of your own watercolor supplies if you prefer.
Please bring lunch or snacks—we’ll take a short break to eat and recharge.
