Watercolor Fall Landscapes - Intermediate to Advanced

November 1
Sat
9:30 AM - 4:30 PM
Intermediate/Advanced
Instruction Media: Watercolor

Explore the rich colors of fall with a special focus on trees in the landscape. Develop an understanding of key steps to creating strong compositions through thumbnail sketches, value studies and exploring color strategies prior to working on larger paintings. Learn to
simplify trees, work with different brushes and incorporate a gestural approach to defining your subject. Practice painting both deciduous trees and evergreen type trees, then create small landscape studies incorporating species of your choice. Emphasis will be on how to
create a personal interpretation of the land through simplification and honing in on what is most important. Inspiration will be gained from demonstrations, visual reference photos and viewing the works of master watercolorists.
