Beyond the Basics: Watercolor
Wanda Boyd | August 6-8, 2026

Over three days, we’ll move from practice exercises into finished paintings, using familiar watercolor skills in a more confident, intentional way. You’ll work through a still life, a floral, and a landscape while learning how to make stronger decisions about value, color, edges, and composition.
