About the Course
Join us for our 5th year of the Triton Online Series, and for Jeff Bramschreiber’s 25th year of teaching for the museum! Enter an expedition with watercolors and watercolor pencils while using a brush, palette knife, and pen and ink! Students will also play with everyday items, such as tea for creating a marbled work of art, or salt to add texture to their works.
