Harmony and the Landscape
Workshop | Available
This four-day workshop is loaded with enthusiasm and energy. The workshop is designed to show how to take a tonal painting and build layers of color and harmonize in an unusual approach to creating successful paintings.

Want to learn about the atmosphere, then this is the class for you. There will be individual help for each student in gaining a better knowledge of the medium as we work to complete a painting.
