The picturesque countryside where beauty takes the form of dusty roads and lazy rivers winding through rolling hills fascinates the artist with its mosaic design. Explore the contours of the land working with perspective and the arrangement of shapes to capture the pastoral scene. Enhance your color mixing skills as you tackle the green pastures and trees. Learn how to use the quaint home, crooked fence posts and grazing horses to punctuate the rural elegance that is truly special. Let country roads take you home to a place of artistic bliss! Reference material provided. Introductory watercolor experience needed.
