live online painting class - venice sunset

17 January 2021

Another super lovely painting session with folks across the globe. This time we visited Venice and painted a beautiful sunset scene in neutral tones. We covered painting with one of my favourite triads - monte amiata natural sienna, light red and cobalt blue. And I showed students a trick on how to get that pretty sparkle on the water and boats.

Next Zoom class will be mid February 2021. Maximum 10 students. Sign up to my mailing list to be in the know.

A free lesson for you!

One of my all-time favourite paintings of a stormy day in a ruined Roman town in Spain.
