Watercolor Line & Wash Techniques: Fresh Harvest
Sharon Art Studio, San Francisco
4 weeks · Fridsays · 10am–1pm
Fresh Harvest: The Line and Wash Way invites you into an immersive, hands-on exploration of botanical watercolor—this time inspired by the textures, shapes, and subtle colors of early spring vegetables and herbs. Working directly from life across four sessions, you’ll build confidence in pen and watercolor through guided practice in color mixing, composition, proportion, texture, and edge control.
From the crisp geometry of radishes to the layered greens of tender herbs, each class focuses on translating what you see into expressive, structured watercolor studies.
All levels welcome. Curiosity is enough.
