Sky & Water Watercolor Workshop with Lorraine Rimmelin

Whether it's a glowing sunrise or a stunning sunset, painting the beauty of a natural moment is the dream of the artist. In this workshop we will explore the use of watercolor, big brushes, and big brushstrokes to create skies that are filled with color and movement. Watercolor applied that is applied to paper and then allowed to mix & flow can help us achieve heavenly results. Layering washes will give us translucent colorful skies which will be reflected in the water below. Adding a small amount of details in our foregrounds will ground our skies and create stunning final results.

Allow yourself to join in the fun and paint the colorful skies you once thought were impossible! All levels welcome.
