Creative Break Replay: Abstract Watercolor Symphony

Creative Break Replay: Abstract Watercolor Symphony

Let’s get wild with watercolors and the special properties of water! Join Elana for this live experience of spraying water on a watercolor paper and adding blobs of colors to create gorgeous abstract effects, as the color moves naturally with the direction of the water. Great stand alone watercolor abstract artwork or a background for more creation. Come to relax and enjoy the process.
