Watercolor Mastery Workshop "Path to Leffingwell"

Designed for artists of all skill levels.

Welcome to this watercolor workshop filmed in studio at the David J Rogers Fine Art Gallery in beautiful Morro Bay, California.

The watercolor painting opportunities that California's central coast provide are too numerous to count, but in the small coastal community of Cambria they are epic! Our workshop "Path to Leffingwell" is a prime example!

The area in and around California's central coast has its own very unique landscape with features that set it apart from anywhere else on earth. A short drive along Highway 1 will reveal to you many inspired watercolor painting opportunities. You can't help but discover that there is beautiful scenery that begs to be painted around each and every corner!

This Watercolor Mastery Workshop subject is taken from Cambria, California's shoreline, and it is one of those perfectly paintable scenes that many people miss.

In this Watercolor Mastery Workshop "Path to Leffingwell," I'll be sharing with you some of the techniques that I use to take what seems like a very complicated subject, that includes sea, sky, a rocky shoreline, and a landscape foreground, and break it all down into simple & easy to follow steps. A process that you'll be able to use with every one of your future landscape paintings.
