"Painting Water in Watercolour"
with Grant Fuller


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Although we can't ignore the surrounding landscape which includes, sky, mountains, trees and rocks, the focus of this 5-day workshop will be on the many moods of water. Ponds with reflections, crashing waves, wet sand, streams and waterfalls will all be demonstrated as we see and experience the real thing.

Experienced painters, feel free to start painting right away. Less experienced painters will benefit from watching my demo and working more closely with my assistance. Either way, there is much to be learned, but at a pace that ensures you enjoy this artist's retreat.

 

Price $575 includes 5 days instruction, delicious lunches, unlimited studio time

We have some easels, tables, paper towels, plastic containers, etc you are welcome to use. We like to go out together for dinner on Thursday night as a group.

Deposit: $250 non-refundable
