Instructor Karen Bishop

Explore the movement, flow, and shape of water and rocks in this 5-week class. We will be painting with watercolour on yupo paper - an ultra-smooth painting surface that will let us create beautiful rhythms and textures that are unique to this paper and style of using watercolour paint. This class is suitable for all levels of watercolour painters from beginners to advanced painters looking to try a new and innovative approach.
