Medieval Inspired Watercolor Painting

You read that right!  In this watercolor class, we will take our inspiration right out of 12^th century manuscripts that were illuminated with incredibly detailed paintings of flora, fauna, fruits, seeds and whimsical zoomorphic creatures!  The first class we will focus on exploring and getting comfortable with the techniques and methods of watercolors followed by admiring and creating our own Medieval inspired masterpiece paintings – without all the hard work of preparing vellum or grinding our own paints!  This class is suitable for beginners through advanced artists.
