Art-Making…

Artist Franz Spohn shows you how to use a variety of watercolor paints, brushes, and gel pens to create your own work of art.



"Radical Watercolors"

Discover what happens when salt, coffee, plastic wrap, glue, and other materials you never thought belonged with watercolors are added to your paintings.
