About the Event

Join us in watching Setsuko paint live, ask her questions, and learn more about her technique and style in lecture format. Enjoy a day of learning and observation with fellow watercolor enthusiasts, no supplies needed. Setsuko's demonstration will focus on her process of taking abstract ideas and random photographic references, developing sketches, and then transforming them into paintings with a keen sense of design and balance of color.
