This two week class will offer techniques for capturing the feel of a rocky seascape without getting bogged down by the need to paint every rock!  We will work on shapes and editing that can lead you to a more dynamic composition. Then we’ll integrate complementary color mixing to explore fun and surprising rock colors against a backdrop of water and sky.  Class will include demos and exercises to loosen up and explore your brushwork.

All levels welcome with a basic understanding of color mixing and composition. Open to acrylic, oil and gouache painters. Liz will work in acrylic.
