Join me under the sea as we paint Myrtle, the famous sea turtle living at the New England Aquarium in Boston. Suitable for beginners or more experienced watercolorists, we will learn/practice foundational skills as I guide you through painting the ocean scene. Choose to create a realistic or stylized painting and I will guide you along the way.
For those not comfortable drawing, tracing is an option in this class. For those who are repeat students, you’ll be able to focus on completing one painting while using the skills taught in previous classes. For students new to watercolor, you’ll get the necessary guidance to complete the painting, while more experienced painters can enjoy practicing their skills with a fun group of people.
Please come ten minutes early in order to set up your supplies, so we can best utilize class time.
