A basic to intermediate all-day class which is designed to inspire your creativity. This session will help students loosen their approach to watercolor.

1 or two sheets of synthetic paper (Yupo)
Brushes - at least 3 - one flat brush of an inch or larger

one very small brush to be used for detail
Three colors (at least) of watercolor paint - a red, blue and yellow (not student grade please and are available at the Eye of the Eagle Art center) or Matisse Flow acrylic which works like watercolor (Instructor will have some tubes of this also)
