Watercolor Landscapes: 2-day Intensive 1M24
Spend two days learning how to apply your watercolor skills to landscape painting. We'll be reviewing basic watercolor use including brush work and color mixing with a focus on how to apply these skills to landscape painting. We'll discuss recreating and constructing compositions from real landscapes, as well as how to properly apply and layer colors to create an effective scene.
