Every landscape has an abundance of visual information and the artist gets to decide what the unique attraction will be. Focusing on one clear idea, explore fundamental skills and techniques to emphasize the focal point of your subject. From skies and terrain to buildings and trees, learn how to use interlocking shapes, color relationships, value contrasts along with light and shadow to find the essence of a place. Make the right decisions and an alluring landscape will reflect your own personal translation! Reference material provided. Introductory watercolor experience needed.
