with Eric Michaels
Two day workshop: Thursday, June. 4 and Friday,
June. 5, 2020
9 a.m. - 3 p.m. daily
$195.00
Like a good house needs a solid foundation, the strength of a painting lies not in the drawing, or the detail, but in the arrangement and execution of its values and masses. In this workshop we will learn how to take any subject and synthesize it down to its basic value masses. Then, painting those masses accurately, simply and interestingly, we set the stage so that our main focal point has maximum impact. I will demonstrate all the tips and techniques that I know using watercolor to assist the participants in what I know will be an educational and fun experience.
MATERIALS TO BRING:
Students will provide their own materials. A supply list will be sent out prior to the workshop.
