Watercolor and wax is an interesting combination, and when you add in a delicately textured rice paper… WOW! The results are fantastic and lovely, with rich bold colors and soft textures created by the natural qualities of rice paper.

Erica will lead you step by step through the process of layering paint and wax, teaching you all the skills you will need to know to start creating your own watercolor batiks. From choosing good reference photos and designing strong compositions to where to apply wax and how to make corrections when you make a mistake, this class will guide you step by step as you paint your own colorful pieces. This is an incredibly fun technique that encourages you to paint loosely and playfully.

Some experience using watercolor is helpful but not required. All levels of painters, from beginners to advanced, are encouraged to join!

Join me for a virtual watercolor workshop exploring the beauty of sunsets — from vivid color transitions to glowing atmosphere. We’ll experiment with playful washes and wet-into-wet techniques to capture light and movement on paper. Open to all levels of painters, this class is about loosening up, embracing color, and letting watercolor flow.
