While some artists can paint directly on canvas or watercolor paper and get amazing results, most people feel more comfortable sketching before applying the final medium. Creative freedom happens during pencil revisions, setting the stage to feel confident before the paint flows. This workshop will explore the various methods of transferring your final sketch to canvas or watercolor paper. Open to all skill levels.
