I found this class has become a favorite. It's so much fun working over watercolor and has been a haboit I started several years ago. Eni has taken it to another level. Thank you!

So many wonderful new techniques! I especially love the use of water with the white gelly roll.. What a lovely effect! Although we've covered it several times before, I never tire of rehearing about how to make gems vs stones (and vs pearls vs waterdrops, which were not a part of this lesson). Repetition is wonderful reinforcement. They are so pretty, and for some reason, a little counterintuitive for me. Every time, I get that "aha" moment when we add these. Just love them!
