  Get out of your left brain and into your right mind! Breaking down the puzzle pieces, one piece at a time, when learning to paint with watercolors creates of small focus. Using the smaller focus makes the learning process less overwhelming. Letting your intuition be your guide is one important puzzle piece. Developing this skill requires some imagination, experimentation and fun attitude. In this class you will learn how to let your intuition guide your decisions when painting a fall leaf picture.
