Grab your magnifying glass! Looking closely at the wings of a butterfly reminds one of an abstract painting. We will explore the wide range of amazing color, design and details using watercolor and pen and ink. We will create a journal that looks as though it has weathered years in the field. You don’t need to know how to draw or paint. All levels welcome. If you have never used watercolors or an old pro you will love this class.
