Reflections: Painting Water in Acrylic Workshop

Reflections: Painting Water in Acrylic Workshop

Have you ever gone to paint water and found yourself reaching for light blue, but then realizing, “wait, look at all those reflections! How do I paint that?”

Water is transparent, ever changing in surface appearance, and as reflective as reflective gets. This class will guide students through their choice of provided landscapes including water and distinctive reflections, exploring the nuances involved and discovering new techniques to approach and depict water reflections! Students may bring a photo of their choice if they’d like, but for those who prefer more structure in a class, we will have a selection of images following one primary reflection motif, for demonstration and guidance.
