Cedar Waxwing, Ronna Fujisawa
Birds are an excellent source of inspiration and a joy to paint. Join this live, online class to paint alongside Ronna Fujisawa, an experienced watercolor painter, art educator, and bird enthusiast. No prior watercolor experience is necessary for enjoying this tutorial. Before the class Ronna will provide participants a photograph to work from. To prepare for the class, students will use carbon paper to copy the photographic image onto watercolor paper. During the class, she will take the students step by step through the process of creating bird-themed holiday cards. The subject birds will be Carolina Chickadee and Cedar Waxwing, two birds we often see in winter. Students can paint along with Ronna during this live class or work later at their own pace with access to the recording of the online lesson.
