Watercolor Mastery Workshop "Cherry Blossoms"
Designed for artists of all skill levels.
Spring is a wonderful time of year for watercolor artists, and our upcoming Watercolor Mastery Workshop "Cherry Blossoms" is the perfect opportunity to share with you a few painting techniques that will add loads of energy and spontaneity to your floral paintings. More importantly though, learning how to paint intuitively is the avenue to discovering your own personal style of watercolor painting.
There are many stand alone qualities of watercolor that make it a uniquely special medium, but perhaps the one most admired is its loose, energetic and spontaneous feel. When this creative and intuitive painting technique is combined with a detailed focal point like the one we have in this month's Watercolor Mastery Workshop, the effect is even more dramatic!
This is a workshop for artists of all skill levels, and beginners are especially encouraged to attend!
Here's just some of what we'll be covering...
*How to use color temperature to add depth and vibrancy to your floral paintings.
*How to paint creatively and add freshness and spontaneity to your work at the same time.
*How to gain control of the medium when you need a more realistic result.
*How to use photographs as inspiration more than reference.
*The secret to painting convincing birds and other wildlife.
*The secret to mixing fresh and vibrant color.
*How to emphasize and direct focus to your subject with loose and interpretive backgrounds.
*How to simplify your painting and imply with suggestion.
*How to apply the "6 Steps to Any Watercolor."
*Getting the most out of your color washes.
*Bringing it all together - the keys to a cohesive painting.
*Artist Q&A session.
And so much more!
