Getting the Color and Light Right
Watercolor, Oil, or Acrylic
All Levels
Charles Shurcliff
Charles believes that when color relations in a painting
are working successfully you catch the sense of sunlight
and aliveness which is the magic of an outdoor scene.
The focus of this workshop is on value, color and light -
the details are not important. Painting is en plein air and
Charles will discuss seeing and observing, translating
what you see, and then simplifying it on paper.
There will be a demonstration, individual instruction
and a group critique at the end of the day.
