Learn what to think when painting oceans!
The goal of this workshop is to help students think for themselves and develop their own style preference while learning to apply principles and elements useful for all subjects they paint.
Students will be taught everything from impressionistic work to realism.
This will be more than a follow along painting session.
In this workshop, students will learn:
How to take photos of the ocean and choose the right image to paint their strong points and what weaknesses to work on in the future
What color mixtures and techniques to use when painting water
Students will find their own strengths and weaknesses while developing a style of their own.
The workshop will concentrate on applying knowledge that will strengthen the skill of each student.
The instructor’s goal is for the students to paint for themselves, learning to think and apply learned knowledge to their own work.
***This class is suitable for oil painting.***
