Join Artist Candice Leyland for an online watercolour class exploring spring ephemeral flowers inspired by Ontario and the Guelph, Arboretum. We will look at a variety of techniques to capture these delicate ephemeral blooms and work through a painting of snow drops. Reference photos will be provided in advance. Some watercolour experience is recommended, but this workshop can be beneficial for all levels.
