Trees & Light

Discover how one simple group of trees can become an endless variety of paintings through changing light, color, and atmosphere. In this two-hour workshop, you'll discover how simple changes in value, color, and edges can completely transform the mood of a painting. Rather than focusing on every branch and leaf, you'll learn to simplify tree shapes into expressive masses while using light to create atmosphere, depth, and emotion.
