Under the Sea Kids Watercolor Workshop


  • Mainframe Studios 900 Keosauqua Way | Studio 325 Des Moines, IA, 50309 United States (map)

Tailored to kids ages 5 to 9, each of the six sessions is an hour long and teaches kids a different watercolor technique including wet-on-wet painting, crayon resist, and salt painting. Early emphasis will be placed on proper brush technique, brush stroke variety, and fun with mixing colors! Kids will be guided step-by-step to draw and paint their own aquatic creatures and bring home a unique piece of art after each workshop. Sign up for one workshop, two, or all six! A new lesson and project is included in each workshop, so kids always have something new to learn!
