I'm excited to announce I've teamed up with Etchr (the sketchbook and watercolour folks) to bring you a free live demo on their YouTube channel.

I'll be painting this lovely scene of the Church of the Good Shepherd in Tekapo and giving you some easy to use aerial perspective tools so that your landscape paintings will get a wonderful sense of depth.

When : 12 March, 7pm EST (13 March, 1pm NZT)
Cost : FREE
Duration : approximately 1 hour
Where : Etchr's YouTube channel

You can pop along to the link above and set yourself a reminder now. If you can't make the time for the live demo, the video will be available afterwards for viewing at your leisure.

See you there!
