Exploring Creativity with Watercolor The intent of the Exploring Creativity with Watercolor class is to create a space where participants will be able to discover aspects of their creativity by using basic watercolor techniques and simple group exercises. Students can develop skill with wet wash, dry wash, color-mixing, and texture.
