New! Painting Harbor Scenes in Watercolor
Adult Course | Available
A harbor intriques and inspires artists with its charming panorama of boats cradled by an array of waterfront structures. This complex subject matter makes for an excellent opportunity to learn about perspective and the arrangement of shapes to create a strong composition. Using the mesmerizing display of vibrant colors, learn how to paint the play of light on the water and the boat reflections glimmering softly. Discover how to use details like masts, ropes, and seagulls for final touches to your nautical painting. Chart new waters in your artistic development! Reference material provided.
