Paul will demonstrate how to paint the deep shadows of night and the glow of a nocturnal cityscape in watercolor as he guides you through the entire process, illustrating the principles of design, color, value, composition and the mechanics of watercolor. You will learn how to work in thin layers of washes to build up luminous colors.

Paul will lead you step-by-step with demonstrations of the painting  process. Emphasis will be on what makes a good painting, planning the entire picture area, the importance of thinking through the composition, good division of shapes, value planning, what to communicate about the subject, and how to correct mistakes.

Through informal lectures, discussions, demonstrations and critiques you will refine your personal painting style. Come prepared to be entertained, make new artist friends and find logical and creative answers to your watercolor questions.

If watercolor is your passion, then this highly energized painting workshop is for you! Paul’s stress-free, positive approach toward the act of painting will inspire you to loosen up and have fun again. Expect an intense, concentrated and lively workshop where you will elevate your understanding of this soulful medium.
