 to color\, water\, observation\, and expression from the first brushstroke

 s to spend time in the garden in a more attentive\, creative way. \nAbout 
 the Instructor\nMarco Flavio teaches these sessions as a working watercolo
 r artist. He trained in classical painting in Italy and printmaking in Jap
 an\, and he teaches art both privately and publicly throughout the Bay Are
 a. Marco practices painting from life\, a way of seeing that shapes everyt
 hing he creates—slowing down\, noticing what matters\, and responding to
  what is in front of him. You can learn more about Marco through his websi
 te\, Out There Watercolors. \n— \nGardens of Golden Gate Park Members m
