watercolor

Sunday, June 29th is International Little Prince Day, celebrating the birth date of Antoine de Saint-Exubéry, author of the beloved children's book The Little Prince which features his watercolor illustrations.

In this watercolor class, we'll recreate the famous watercolor cover as a 7 x 9-inch piece. Students can choose their own colors or stay true to Saint-Exubéry's original painting.

We'll begin by tracing the design onto watercolor paper. This is a simple painting and the techniques we'll use will help beginners understand how watercolor works as a medium. You'll learn how to create watercolor gradients and work with the water to create beautiful blends of different colors.

Learn basic watercolor skills while creating some lovely small pieces you can frame! You'll learn fundamental techniques to make the water work for you. We'll explore how to make soft, blended colors and bright, bold strokes. Watercolor is a joy once you understand how paints and water work together (and sometimes create happy surprises)!
