Provence, with its picture-perfect scenes and its fragrant fields of lavender, will be your guide to explore direct painting with watercolor. Let a medieval hilltop chateau or row upon row of purple lavender blooms inspire you as we study how to use the arrangement of shapes to create perspective, depth and distance Learning edge control and creative brushwork will be key when depicting a cottage doorway transformed into a floral paradise and an idyllic shutter-framed window with a bicycle.
