Thank you so much for attending Watercolor Studio: Autumn Landscape. Art is a way to clear our minds of all the daily clutter and hopefully you were able to clear some of that clutter away.

Key Takeaways and Next Steps:

Picking the right colors for fall
Painting trees and leaves with simple strokes
