Hi friends! I am SUPER excited to teach in Miami. Here is all the information you will need.
Class Outline
Lettering with Watercolors
12 hour program
Welcome to Lettering with Watercolors by Ana Victoria! Here you will learn both basic watercolor techniques and how to achieve modern and organic lettering skills using your paintbrush! This is the perfect class for beginners, as well as experienced designers who are looking to integrate hand lettering into their portfolio. We will combine illustration techniques into your final masterpieces. Each student will work on a personal project with one on one guidance from the teacher.
Students will leave this class having a better understanding of watercolors as a medium and awesome illustrations that can be pieces of art on their own or used in personal projects.
