Watercolor: Painting Water

Learn to paint beautiful seascapes, waves, rivers and lakes with reflections.

Class demos will show techniques and styles for painting landscape/seascapes with water features including using pastels, wax crayons and gouache to create highlights and details.

Each week students will be given an “assignment” or a painting project to do on their own to help reinforce and build their skills.
