Painting in watercolour is a beautiful experience.
Sir Winston Churchill, the famous Prime Minister of England even wrote about it in his book, Painting As a Pastime. He loved it and you will love it too. When you put your brush on paper and the images magically appear, it is so satisfying.
We will paint landscapes, and cover topics like skies: sweeping skies,clouds, various types of trees, hills in the foreground and way off in the distance and waters such as lakes, rivers, rapids, waterfalls and reflections. Also we will paint florals: roses, irises, and sunflowers.
