Gain invaluable insights into capturing a sense of natural or stylized lighting and color with gouache! A strong understanding of natural color and lighting is an important asset to any environment artist or fine art painter. Among the challenges of outdoor painting, water & rocks tend to be a couple of the most difficult subjects to paint. They need to come across as both effortless and convincing.
In this 3-day gouache workshop, Mike will cover the important fundamentals of composition design, color relationships, staging the light, atmospheric perspective, simplification, and shape design. This is a great workshop for anyone interested in painting who wants to learn how to capture a rich sense of natural lighting and color into their artwork. You can choose any medium to paint with—Mike will be using gouache.
