Have you ever looked at a beautiful scene, and wished you could capture it on canvas? You'll learn how here, creating a landscape painting from a photograph, and using a limited palette and water–soluble acrylic paints.

This all comes from a perspective of non-judgement – it's essential to tame the inner critic in order to be creative! We paint in a spirit of discovery and experimentation.

In this workshop, you will learn:

• How to create a landscape painting from a photograph
• How to choose your palette, mix colors, and create beautiful color harmonies
• How to begin – and where to take it from there, working with the big shapes in the painting
• How to approach composition and design
• How to give your landscapes the illusion of distance
• The inner game of painting (how and why to tame your inner critic)
