This three-day workshop for intermediate to advanced students will help you develop a complete understanding of how to plan an emphasis on painting skies and water. The instructor’s working methods will be demonstrated and broken down into a step-by-step process, illustrating how to achieve fresh, bright color in landscapes, while avoiding muddy mixtures. Students can bring their own photos to work from, or they can paint using references that the instructor will bring to the workshop.
