Bring landscapes to life through a creative blend of paint and thread in EPIC's Watercolor & Embroidery. In this mixed-media workshop, you’ll use a landscape photo as inspiration to create a watercolor painting on durable duck canvas fabric. Once your painting is complete, you’ll enhance it with hand embroidery, adding texture, dimension, and fine detail through simple stitching techniques.

Suitable for beginners and experienced artists alike, this class covers foundational watercolor application, basic embroidery stitches, and thoughtful ways to combine the two mediums into a cohesive, expressive piece.
