Painting Water Scenes in Oils

Water scenes are whatever you want them to be: exciting, calm, energizing, or even violent. Color schemes range from warm and sunny to cool and stormy and you can paint water any time of day (or night) at sunrise, sunset, or mid-day. Paint large (the ocean) or small (puddles). Water is fun to paint, interesting to view, and adds never-ending variety to your paintings. We will paint still water (with reflections) and waves in action.

All materials are supplied and no toxins will be used, just natural mediums and brush washing.
