Join David on a Watercolor Journey, learning the most valuable watercolor concepts and techniques.  This workshop will save you countless hours of trial & error by demonstrating approaches in an easily understood manner that will open new doors of discovery and creativity.  Participants will be provided reference photos, drawing guides, and step-by-step instruction through all stages of the painting process.  The workshop is packed with demos and guided practice!  Regardless of your level of experience, you’re almost guaranteed to leave with a handsome work of art, and the skills, concepts, and confidence to take your paintings to a higher level.
