Water & Sky - Friday Mornings 4 session Workshop

In this - 4 session workshop you will explore the movement, light, and atmosphere of water and sky through expressive acrylic painting. Through demonstrations and guided instruction, learn to use large brushes, mix harmonious colors and rich neutrals, and work with value, temperature, edges, and brushwork to create depth and guide the eye. Paint from photographs or imagination while developing a looser, more confident style filled with energy and life. Each session includes a short drawing meditation, a demo, guided painting time, and a supportive group share.
