Learn this meditative art form known to calm the mind and release tension. In this class we will trace templates (or draw your own) of butterflies and/or dragonflies and progress the composition with various lines. We will then use the wet-on-wet technique to progressively lay watercolor paint down onto the various shapes created by the lines. These layers will create a seamless shadowing on the shapes to create dimension. Then we will round out the sharp angles on the various shapes created and fill in the gaps with permanent ink. The repetition of layering color and defining the shapes will help the mind to leave the chaos of worry and anxiety, allowing you to produce a beautiful piece of artwork. This work will be created on a 6″x 9″ watercolor paper perfect for a 5″x 7″ frame. No painting or drawing experience is required.  This class will take place on Friday July 17th 6-8pm. Cost is $30 ($25 instructional fee +$5 materials fee). This class is non-refundable.
