Create a soulful fox in watercolor while exploring expressive fur, vibrant color, mixed media, and the beauty of trusting your instincts.
An artist's mind is rarely at rest. There's always something worth looking at, some shape or color, finding inspiration in everything. In Quiet Unfolding, Natalie Mecham invites you to look closely at the world around you and paint a fox portrait alongside her.
Join Natalie as she walks you through the techniques she returns to again and again, including how to paint fur without stiffening it, and how to bring out the personality in a wild animal's face.
Foxes carry their own quiet lessons. As a spirit animal, the fox is said to appear when you need to trust your instincts, move around an obstacle instead of forcing your way through it, and stay flexible when things shift. Natalie sees this as good guidance for watercolor itself, a medium that rarely rewards force.
You'll also see how she layers in other materials, building mixed media pieces full of vibrant color and texture.
This class welcomes all levels. If you're just beginning with watercolor, Natalie starts slowly and explains as she goes. If you've been painting for years, you'll find new techniques and a fresh way of seeing a familiar medium.
Join Natalie and paint a world full of wisdom and wonder.
