Art Workshop: Watercolor Basics Lesson #1: Mountains

In this class, we will dive into creating mountains by manipulating water. We will learn how different measurements of water is necessary, how to control the amount and how you can blend beautiful colors and pigments using water. As we are living in a state that is famous for its mountain, it will be a great lesson for those who love nature and would like to depict some familiarities and nostalgia in their artwork.
