Enjoy studying and painting several Maine woodland and meadow birds in this beginner watercolor class. Even if you‘ve been painting for a while it’s always easy to advance in this medium and become more confident in you skills. Seasons will be added to our paintings whether it’s a Nuthatch in the autumn or a Chickadee in the winter. Plenty of reference photographs will make the drawing easy and I will guide you with techniques that are also simple to understand and follow. This class has always been one of my favorites to offer.
