| WHO IS THIS FOR? Literally ANYONE can join in on the fun! No experience necessary, but it will really help if you have at least SOME experience in watercoloring (One of my previous watercolor events/Watercolor Happy/Watercolor Week) I am keeping the groups REALLY small to help ensure everyone has the ability to learn and get one on one attention! YOU DO NOT need to be an avid watercolorist to thoroughly enjoy this event! It is going to be so amazing!
More information: Planning your trip: You can fly into MLI (Quad Cities International Airport) which is about a 15 min drive from my house. I am about a 2 hour (ish) drive from the Chicago Subarbs, 8 hours from Columbus, OH, 4ish hours from St Louis, 6ish hours from Minneapolis. I recommend staying at the Holiday Inn 4215 Elmore Ave, Davenport, IA I am waiting on a discounted room block link to be set up for our event. My house is about 8-10 min from the hotel. If you would like a roommate to keep costs down, please check out our Facebook Group (details in your will be shared once registered) There are closer hotels to my house, but they are often filled with baseball and soccer teams on the weekends (there is a giant sports complex about 1 mile from my house and let's just say I don't want that for you. They can be frustrating to deal with!
