Work with the painting medium of your choice as you capture the essence of summer at nearby John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge at Tinicum. where wildlife sightings are part of the experience. Woodlands, March, and creek provide varied and compelling scenery for the studio of landscape painting techniques, including methods for simplifying the painting of waterway and foliage, and for managing the effects of shifting daylight. Demonstrations and individualized teaching are part of a day that wraps up with a group critique.
