Join artist and illustrator Carolyn Gavin for a month of exploring color. Using both gouache and watercolor, Carolyn will demonstrate how she works from reference and imagination to create her paintings.

I like the artist’s loose style and how she encourages the viewer to experiment with paint, shapes, colors and different subjects. Video is well photographed. Great class for someone interested in abstract illustration.
