THE MAGIC OF LILACS IN WATERCOLOR
Join Natalia Outkina, a renowned watercolour artist, for a 3-hour watercolor workshop and discover how to paint beautiful, luminous lilacs without getting lost in tiny details.
Natalia will share her personal techniques for:
• Creating loose, expressive flower clusters
• Painting fresh, glowing greens
• Using wet-on-wet techniques for softness and depth
• Creating light, movement and beautiful lost-and-found edges
You’ll learn how to turn simple brushstrokes into a vibrant, airy bouquet full of light and life.
