Intro to Watercolor II at KAC

Here is our busy classroom today as we worked on mixing color, getting texture, glazing, wet in wet and more.

Students learned how to intensify color without getting "mud" while having fun with water drops, goldfish and an old red barn. If you zoom in, I think you just might see some of the results.
