The Arts at Taliesin West: Desert Landscape in Layers: Painting the McDowell Mountains with Watercolor (LIVE, ONLINE)

Desert Landscape in Layers: Painting the McDowell Mountains with Watercolor (LIVE, ONLINE)
Join Rachel Eskandari, of Pink Puddle Studio, for an online watercolor class celebrating the beauty of the McDowell Mountains. The desert landscape deeply inspired Frank Lloyd Wright so much that he chose to build Taliesin West in the foothills of this mountain, allowing the architecture to exist in harmony with the surrounding desert.
In this class we will explore a loose, expressive wet-on-wet watercolor technique to create a desert landscape painting. This class is designed to encourage creativity and experimentation while capturing the beauty of the McDowell Mountains. Open to all skill levels, this workshop invites both beginners and experienced painters to connect with the desert.
A list of supplies will be provided to all registered participants
