Winter Landscapes
Sandy Bricel Miller
$204
Explore the beauty of the winter palette through landscape painting. As winter approaches, the quality of light changes and casts a different hue over the land. Through a series of guided steps, develop compositions that capture the essence of your subject and focus on what is important to you. Practice loose gestural drawings, working from a value study and developing harmonious color strategies using a limited palette. Develop confidence in color mixing using transparent and staining watercolor pigments as you create personal interpretations of the winter landscape.
