In this very beginner-friendly workshop, students will learn the basics of mixing and painting with professional watercolor paints. We will focus on creating a range of colors using the three primaries of red, yellow and blue, as well as learning techniques for applying paint to paper. The remainder of the class time will be spent completing a basic floral or still-life painting from your own drawing or from one copied from the instructor’s selection of drawings.

About the Instructor: Elizabeth Higgins is a Portland watercolor artist and instructor who has been a lifelong learner of various art forms, including drawing, writing, photography and book arts. She found her true artistic passion in 2011 when she discovered watercolor painting. She is constantly inspired by shape and color, and finds purpose in expressing herself through the bold use of watercolor pigments. Painting is playful and joyful for her, and these are the feelings she hopes to instill in others.
