Below are some helpful YouTube video demos to practice at home before going to this event on location. With YouTube videos, I usually first watch the entire demo to see the result and make notes of important points. Then, I start the video again and paint along. I like the convenience of YouTube demos that can be paused, and so I can paint and learn at my pace.
I hope you enjoy practicing in advance and are excited about our topic – a rose garden and a field of bluebonnets with weathered oak trees in Plein Air!
