Sterling Edwards
Watercolor: Taking It To a New Level
October 5 - 9, 2009 • $420

This is a workshop for artists of all skill levels. If you’re new to watercolor, you’ll learn some great habits here. If you’re experienced in the medium, you’ll walk away with some great new tips and techniques. Sterling will show participants how to stylize their work — sometimes taking it all the way to abstract. Because of its transparent and luminous qualities, watercolor is an ideal medium for creating rich, and often glowing, abstract paintings.
