We’ll learn to draw and paint a simple cupcake (including sprinkles!) sitting on a table using watercolor paints. Students will be encouraged to use complimentary paint colors and experiment with paint color properties as they mix. These skills will help the students to confidently choose colors in all their other art projects. We’ll chat about the color wheel, multiple brush techniques, good brush care habits, setting up supplies in the best ways, experimenting with color combinations, composition and more!
