Come join professional artist + educator Dustan Knight as she presents a workshop focused on the art of watercolor.

I am a professional artist MFA who, having retired from many years as an Art Professor at the NH Institute of Art, now work full-time in my studio at the Button Factory in Portsmouth NH.

Please come join me for a day of fun art making as we create big flowers in watercolor.

This workshop celebrates the brilliant color of the watercolor medium. There is not much drawing but there is an emphasis on how to arrange shapes and colors. I will demonstrate how to plan and design a big floral painting and the best way to paint it. I will walk us step by step through the process, sharing many tips and techniques.

I encourage all level of art participants and work with everyone individually so they understand the process and strengthen their watercolor skills.
