Sharpen your creative skills and begin to see the way an artist sees the great outdoors. It doesn't have to be complicated when you discover how to translate beautiful and engaging images into an original design of shapes, values, and colors. Rendering sky, terrain, trees, and water, learn to eliminate the unessential, rearrange the scene, and mass shapes together as you capture the spirit of nature. Reference material provided. Introductory watercolor experience needed.
