The counties surrounding Bedminster feature iconic stone bridges crossing streams that run into the Raritan and the Musconetcong.  Do you have a favorite bridge?  Learn to paint stone and mortar and surrounding landscape.  Techniques include using semi-opaque and granulating colors, wet in wet, negative painting, spattering, and painting trees and foliage.  Reference will be provided but you are welcome to paint from your own photos.  Novice to Advanced.
