WATERCOLORING with artist Georgina Arroyo
Registration required.
In this workshop we will explore the building blocks of watercolor, including basic color mixing, how to create smooth gradients, and the magic of wet-on-wet painting. Participants will also learn useful techniques such as resist, layering, and simple texture-building methods. During the session, participants will pick up practical tips, tricks, and creative approaches to help them feel more confident and playful with the medium!
By the end of the session, each participant will walk away with a set of versatile skills that can support any future watercolor project. Perfect for total beginners or anyone eager to reconnect with watercolor basics.

She was born and raised in Queens, NY and received a BFA at Lesley University College of Art & Design in Cambridge, MA. She now works out of her studio in Bushwick.
