5-WEEK ART CLINIC WITH J. JORDAN BRUNS


Watercolor Pencils have been around for some time now.  They are fantastic for sketching in the sketchbook and great to bring with you on vacation.  Just add a little water to the drawn line and the pencil mark becomes a watercolor wash.  But what else can we do with them?  We’ll split our experimentation between still life and the figure.  This is a great Art Clinic for drawing students as well as students interested in water-based painting.  Please note there is a $30 model fee to be paid in class for this session. 

This is a beginner to advanced level Art Clinic.
