Watercolor Landscapes
Weekend Workshop | This program is completed
Develop an understanding of key steps to create dynamic compositions through the practice of thumbnail sketches, value studies and exploring color strategy. Learn to simplify complex shapes and hone in on what is important. Have fun learning to mix transparent, staining and opaque pigment to achieve beautiful washes, build layers of rich colors and preserve the light in your composition.
