landscape painting class

Here are a few photos from a very fun day teaching watercolour landscape painting techniques in Wanaka, New Zealand. Students worked on 2 different scenes, painting along with me. And they worked very hard!

Skills covered ...

  • the rules of aerial (atmospheric) perspective
  • painting different skies
  • how to paint snow, mountains, trees, water and reflections
  • working wet-in-wet and wet-on-dry

It was a full and fun day, and the students results were wonderful.

My next landscape painting class will probably be later in the year. Join my mailing list if you'd like to be notified of the dates.
