Description of the Workshop which will be held in Saint Égrève

July Saturday 4 and Sunday 5

All students with a prior painting experience, even if new to watercolor, are welcome.

The main theme is landscape but the principles studied apply to all subject matters.

The goal is to share with you what are the keys to full of light and life, expressive paintings.

During the mornings, through simple exercises,  we will works on how to look at and simplify the subject, with a special emphasis on values.

We wil then look into how to use watercolor techniques to capture the subject while staying true to our emotions.
