Saturday, July 18, 11:00am - 12:30pm PT This is an online workshop held via Zoom. Mother Nature continues to be one of our best muses! Butterflies have been a popular motif historically in art and design, perhaps for their fleeting beauty and fragility, and watercolour is the perfect medium to explore their iridescent wings. In this session we’ll be studying butterflies & moths and observing their wide range of patterns and textures - their symmetry allows for repetition and practicing techniques.

Saturday, July 25, 11:00am - 12:30pm PT. This is an online workshop held via Zoom. I have been obsessed with dolphins since childhood. Their curious, playful natures are fascinating, and their graceful movements are full of joy. Observing them swimming in the San Francisco Bay inspired me to loosen my approach to painting and respond more intuitively to the natural world. In this workshop we’ll explore foundational watercolor techniques such as wet-into-wet, layering, and more, with an emphasis on using minimal, fluid brushstrokes to paint these streamlined creatures.
