March 28, 2022 @ 6:00 pm - 7:15 pm

Watercolor Painting with Ronna: The Common Tern

*This is a digital art class.

Birds are an excellent source of inspiration and a joy to paint in watercolor. Join this live, online class to paint alongside Ronna Fujisawa, an experienced watercolor painter, art educator, and bird enthusiast. 

This class will focus on the effortless flier, the Common Tern. Hugging the coastline in migration, this long-distance traveler can be seen regularly on beaches and estuaries. What better than to capture this sea bird in flight with minimal, subtle, and neutral watercolors. The flowing water-soluble paints pair so well with the Common Tern. Soaring through an overcast sky, the tern with the slender, red-orange bill glows in the wind, with a free-flowing spirit. 

Students can paint along with Ronna during this live class or work at their own pace with access to the recording of the zoom lesson after the session.
