The monument or statue can be an illustrious landmark or an unassuming perfect finishing touch to the garden or park. Working with composition and vantage points, learn to make sculptural forms a captivating focal point or a subtle "effect" nestled among lush foliage. Drawing from the watercolors of John Singer Sargent, his mastery of edges, economy of brush strokes, and subtle variations of color will be our inspiration when painting the elegance of outdoor fountains and animal, figure, mythical, and/or religious statues. Reference material provided. Introductory watercolor experience needed.
