Reference Images and Supplies

Here are some images to use for the workshop. I find that starting out with simple subjects like leaves or fruit is easier than starting with more complex subjects. They are easy to draw and paint.
During the class will be talking about mixing watercolor to match the colors that you see. Use one of these images for the workshop or use real leaves or petals that you might have around your place.
​If you still need supplies, a supply list is at the bottom of this page.
