About this experience
Are you a travel enthusiast who appreciates the beauty of warm summer days spent at the beach or in the mountains? Have you ever wished to capture those cherished moments through the medium of watercolor painting? Join us for our engaging 2-part travel watercolor class!
In this 4 hour class split across two days, you will:
- Master watercolor techniques such as dry-on-wet, wet-on-wet, layering, and washes

Ashley loves to take her watercolor out in the world and wants to show you how easy it is to capture the moment of your travels or the beauty of nature in your very own backyard. Ashley learned how to watercolor from her mom when she was young and picked it back up about 2 years ago. You can find Ashley on the weekend at Alki beach painting and enjoy the beauty of the PNW.
