Paint the Quiet Magic of Light in the Forest
There’s something quietly magical about sunlight drifting through the trees, casting shadows across a rocky stream and bringing the forest to life. In this workshop, “Forest Light & Shadow,” David will guide you through painting a peaceful woodland scene - one that captures both the richness of shadow and the soft glow of filtered light. You’ll explore how to use light as a design tool, how to simplify natural forms without losing their character, and how to create a sense of stillness and depth that invites the viewer in.
Along the way, you’ll learn practical watercolor techniques for painting evergreen foliage, reflective water, and textured rocks with looseness and clarity. Through thoughtful use of value, temperature, and edge control, David shows how to create atmosphere and focus without overcomplicating the process. It’s a calm, creative space to explore how light shapes a scene - and how a painting can quietly speak volumes.
