Succulents and Loose Floral WC: See how I prepare to teach a rusty art technique
I love sharing what I'm working on my art studio. This fall I'm teaching an adult watercolor class. Join me as I prepare for the next class where I'm teaching layering and glazing to create detailed, shaded succulents as well as loose florals. I share how I get myself prepared to teach an art technique I'm a bit rusty at as I get myself back in watercolor form.
