"A Walk on the Beach" Watercolor Mastery Workshop

Capturing everyday moments, especially those that recall fond memories of past experiences, are where the watercolor medium really shines.

A beautiful spring or summer day spent on the beach walking on the sand with a loved one. Perhaps it's a vacation memory, or a fun family day trip. Either way, what a joy it is being able to capture that special moment for a lifetime and create a precious family heirloom to last for generations.

In this upcoming Watercolor Mastery Workshop, I'll be showing you how to capture those moments quickly and easily in watercolor! Not only will we be painting a beautiful beach scene, but I'll also be demonstrating for you a quick and easy way to create interesting and convincing figures for your paintings, while at the same time adding both depth and dimension to your work.  

Here's just some of what we'll be covering...

*A quick and easy way to add people to your watercolor paintings.  
*How and why using a limited palette unifies your painting.
*Color mixing with a limited palette.

*How to paint a dramatic cloudy sky and at the same time direct focus in your painting.
