"Winter Chickadees" Watercolor Mastery Workshop

Watercolor Mastery Workshop "Winter Chickadees"
Designed for artists of all skill levels.

What does it take to create a beautiful and convincing portrait of any kind of animal? One word...Control. But, most watercolor artists cringe at the thought of painting anything in watercolor that requires them to have a bit more control over the medium.

I can tell you from experience that it is easier than you think it is. Its only a matter of breaking down your subject into simple and achievable steps.

In this Watercolor Mastery Workshop, we'll be using birds as our subject, but, more importantly, I'll be showing you how to paint any kind of animal subject by understanding a few basic universal concepts that you'll be able to apply to any of your future paintings.

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

*Why values are essential to turning the form and how to use them to your advantage.
*How to have ultimate and predictable control over over the medium when you need it.
*How selecting the right tools for the job will make or break your painting.
*Why darkening a value is much more than simply creating thicker pigment.
*How to use photographs as inspiration more than reference.
*The secret to accurate colors.
*Why selecting the right color and technique for your background will emphasize and direct focus to your subject and add energy to your painting.
*How simplifying with suggestion will add unity to your painting.
*How to apply the "6 Steps to Any Watercolor."
*Getting the most out of your color washes.
*Bringing it all together - the keys to a cohesive painting.
*Artist Q&A session.
