Calling all artists, animal lovers, and anyone who's ever been charmed by a creature with a permanent smile! This workshop is your chance to explore the fascinating world of axolotls, the adorable amphibian with gills that never outgrows its tadpole stage.

Sketch the unique anatomy of an axolotl: We'll start with basic shapes and guidelines to capture their distinctive features, from their feathery gills to their webbed feet.

Master the magic of watercolors: Unleash the vibrant hues of these aquatic wonders using wet-on-wet techniques, layering, and washes.

Bring your axolotl to life: Add personality and details to your creation, from playful expressions to shimmering scales.

No prior experience is necessary! This workshop is open to everyone, from curious beginners to seasoned artists looking to experiment with a new subject. Our experienced instructor will provide guidance and encouragement every step of the way, ensuring you have a blast while creating your own little underwater masterpiece.

~ IMPORTANT~ Be on time for class! 
This is a step-by-step lesson, and you need to be on time. If your artist is late for any reason, I will let them in class, and they can participate where we are in the drawing. I will offer your artist the option of doing the complete lesson on the recording after class has finished and the lesson has been uploaded to the cloud.
