Winter Whites in Watercolor

Anne Wert

Whether painting a winter landscape, a fuzzy bunny, or background for a still life, knowing how to use white is a challenge for all watercolorists. In this two day workshop we will explore where and when to leave the white of the paper, looking for colors in white, using negative painting, and other techniques.

Paint from your own photos, or bring in something to work from observation.

Open to all levels (some watercolor experience preferred).
