Let's go to the stars! In this live online workshop, we will create a watercolor galaxy project by combining several watercolor techniques, using salt to create texture, taping down our projects to make cool shapes, and adding stars with gel and paint pens. I'll also show you how to add a quote on top to make it extra special!

-
Learn about different types of watercolor paints
-
Practice using the wet-on-wet technique
