Just Trees Painting Workshop
Two Saturdays and Sundays, June 6, 7, 13 and 14 from 10-1:30
Trees are something we see every day, but when we want to paint them, we struggle with the trunk and limbs and foliage. In this workshop learn the anatomy of different trees and their structures and how to paint the essence of the tree.
You will learn through demos and several exercises how to mass in foliage and suggest seasonal color, including flowering spring trees, fall colors and bare winter branches.
