Watercolors and Acrylics – Sketching and Painting Landscapes
Session description
During this workshop, you will:
– explore the fundamentals of color mixing, composition, and brushwork.
– practice mixing and layering techniques to create depth, light, and texture.
– develop landscape paintings that convey atmosphere, perspective, and mood.
– learn to create realistic portraits, focusing on proportions, form, and skin tones.
– gain confidence in your own creative style while producing a series of finished works.
By the end of the course, you will not only have created several beautiful works of art,
but you will also have acquired the skills and confidence needed to continue exploring watercolor and acrylics on your own.
Whether you want to paint soothing landscapes, realistic portraits, or both, you’ll
find your style and unleash your creativity here.
The workshops at Pourpry Castle include a day of sightseeing during which we’ll take you to explore the region’s medieval villages. Minibus transportation and lunch at a high-quality restaurant are included in the stay.
It’s a great opportunity to spark your inspiration and fill your travel journal!
