Painting Lyrical Water - oil and pastel

Learn to paint exuberant, lively water so that the viewer can feel the light and hear the sounds! Featuring moving water as the primary subject matter for this workshop, Barbara will present and demonstrate her approach to landscape painting, which can also apply to any landscape subject. Skills covered will include composition (especially pertaining to showcasing water in a painting), editing, value structure, color temperature, chroma, and edges. Emphasis will be on capturing brilliant light effects for moving water subjects such as waterfalls and rapids.

Students can paint in either oil or pastel, or alternate between both. Barbara will demonstrate both. Demonstrations will be in the morning, and students will paint in the afternoon with plenty of individual instruction at the easel. This workshop is open to all levels, although artists with at least some basic landscape painting experience and familiarity with their supplies will benefit most.
