Apr 16 AM – Quick Draw with Carla Flegel
So many are spooked by the thought of drawing the subject you want to paint. With this method it is easy to adjust some of the shapes as you add layers of paint and inking to the drawing. We will practice a few simple scenes so you are confident using the techniques. NO EXPERIENCE with drawing or using watercolour is necessary.

About the Instructor: Carla Flegel has explored oils, acrylics and has recently settled on watercolour as her medium of choice. She loves the unpredictability as water, paint and paper meet, and how it paints itself if you let it.
