COMING IN OCTOBER 2025 A NEW 2 DAY WORKSHOP FOR THE INTERMEDIATE WATERCOLOR PAINTERS
TEA to BUTTER
What is TEA to BUTTER? It works for all skill levels. It is a distinctive and effective approach to learning watercolor techniques. The concept of Tea to Butter centers on the relationship between pigment and water consistency. Just as we understand the varying consistencies of tea, coffee, milk, cream, and butter, this method encourages you to apply those familiar textures to your watercolor creation process.
