Dusk & Dawn with Melanie Lan
Couldn't load pickup availability
Saturday, May 18, 11:00am - 12:30pm PT
In this workshop we'll be exploring sunsets and sunrises, playing with gentle gradients and rose-tinted clouds. Rather than attempting to paint something entirely photo-realistic or representational, we'll embrace the fluid qualities of watercolor and attempt to capture the colorful energy of "golden hour." We'll be learning how to mix and blend our paints while appreciating the beauty of skies during dusk and dawn.
Join zoom 15 minutes early (10:45am) for an informal meet and greet with the instructor and other class participants! Session instructions will begin promptly at 11:05am PT so that everyone has plenty of time to join!
