Watercolor Photo Mat Board

A framed photo of a precious memory can make for a great gift, but why not take it a step further? In this workshop, we will show you several patterns and techniques for creating a watercolor photo mat board that will elevate any framed image to a piece of custom art. This is a beginner-friendly workshop where we provide all the paint and supplies for use during the workshop. We will have paper available to use, but we also recommend you bring a photo mat board of your own choosing (fit for whatever you plan to frame) to paint. You can also bring your chosen photo for inspiration, or wait and let the art itself guide your vision!
