This is an in-person workshop! Come paint with your art friends.
Description: We will paint a brightly lit American White Pelican floating on dark water (see partial image above). Water reflections can be fascinating. The water can act like glass and give an almost perfect reflection of the object, or distort the object due to the movement of the surface. This workshop will focus on a pelican and its reflection in the water.
Students will learn essential skills to create puzzle-like reflections in the water by using masking, layering, and wet-on-wet techniques. Then we will explore methods to create a realistic likeness of the pelican.
Lorraine shares lots of tips, including color theory information and design principles that will be discussed and demonstrated so that each student will have the tools to complete their own successful painting.
Fees: $300 (refunded if class does not meet the minimum)
Supply List: An information packet along with the supply list, reference photo, and drawing will be sent upon registration.
