Join James in a 3-day painting workshop to explore the beauty of water and dogs. Using stunning photos of golden retrievers, Bjorn and Fenrir, as inspiration, participants will learn simple techniques to create two beautiful paintings.
The workshop will guide participants step-by-step, teaching them to capture the energy of water and the playful spirit of these furry friends. By the end, participants will have gained the skills and confidence to express their own artistic vision.
Painting demos, discussions, critiques, and plenty of painting time will be provided. All necessary photos will be supplied. The workshop will be exciting, challenging with a lighthearted tone.
