In four Tuesday morning workshops, instructor Larry Charles will guide you through the techniques for capturing vibrant watercolor scenes on location as you travel.
Each class begins with a step-by-step demonstration of how to capture certain effects in watercolor. Then Larry Charles will mentor you as you recreate the same scene. Expect to create one or two finished watercolors per session.
He will cover such techniques as color mixing, perspective, composition, water and glass reflections, and textures.
