Watercolor Magic II

The Hershey Public Library invites you to join Watercolor Magic II, a virtual art class, with Marie Gamon from the Hershey Area Art Association (HAAA). Continue the Magic! We will build on the skills and experiments from the Magic I class. There will be more wet on wet, wet on dry painting, more experiments with salt, pens, and some other media that can enhance your work.

If you are relatively new to watercolor and have been experimenting on your own, you also are welcome. If you have had more experience with Watercolor, this class is especially for you. Because the more you paint, the better you get….the more you experience the richer your art becomes. You gain a greater understanding of what paper, paint, brush and water can do!
