ABOUT: Learn the basic techniques used by Robert Kraiza for his watercolor paintings. He will guide you through his materials setup and the use of masking fluid to paint a human and animal subject with the use of washes and final details and achieve different effects like foliage and hair. Work along with or observe the basic steps Robert uses.
This workshop is intermediate/advanced. Art experience is recommended.
