A strong emphasis will be placed on color, structure, composition and capturing the ever-changing natural light. Techniques for watercolor, pastel and oils will include blending, layering, color mixing, lifting, working wet on wet, glazing, and brush and paper selection and use. Teaching methods will include instruction, demonstration, individualized attention, and support through the process.
