  &lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Join Larry Spitzberg for a full-day watercolor workshop exploring Don Andrews’ 10-step method for taking a painting from the initial reference photo to a finished work of art.&lt;/font&gt;

  &lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Beginning with a reference photo, Larry will guide you through identifying the whites, establishing a focal point, and determining the overall warm or cool color approach. You’ll then move into the painting process, starting with wetting the paper and applying the first wash of color, followed by two additional layers to build depth, detail, and a finished painting.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
