The theme of the workshop is “spring landscapes”. Students will learn how to paint the subtle colors of spring using reference photos. Composition and painting light and shadow, will be explored in this workshop. Please bring your watercolors, paper, and a reference photo, preferably of a spring scene, to work from. For a demonstration, Robert will work on a landscape, while explaining each step of the painting process. You will be working on your own artwork as Robert does his demonstration. A critique and class discussion will be held at the end of the session. If needed, Robert will have several reference photos available to work from. This is open to all abilities, with some drawing and watercolor experience suggested. Robert J. O’Brien has been painting in watercolor for over 40 years, and is a popular workshop instructor.
