Winter Landscape in Pastel and Watercolor
Instructor: Dannielle Mick
This workshop will combine 2 very compatible media. The pastel and watercolor student will learn the different techniques of watercolor application. How much water that is desired to get different effects will be covered and is most important.
The pastelist will then lay the pastels over the watercolor painting letting some of the watercolor come through for a rich surface color.
This workshop for both media will explore background washes, color contrasts and complements, light and dark emphasis, masking, foreground and background structure, overall composition.
We will explore the golden hour lighting. This is the time of day just before sunset where the light is infused with golden tones in the natural landscape.
Students will work from photo reference that I supply. This workshop is open to all skill levels.
Demonstrations and class critique will round out this informative workshop.
