Connecting with the winter world and expressing its beauty calls to many painters, yet the idea of painting out in the cold does not! Join Ann Lindsay, award-winning artist and author of Watercolor: A New Beginning: A Holistic Approach to Painting, for a week-end workshop packed with winter painting fun!

"We will head outdoors with our sketchbooks & cameras --film or digital-- to gather reference material which will be developed/printed and brought back to the studio. Back in the studio, we will explore winter landscape techniques and when our photos are ready we will discuss and explore composition possibilities. Distilling the photo(s) we choose into value studies-simplifying the landscape into shapes of light & dark. We will then 'paint winter' transcending our photographs and expressing our feelings about this cold, beautiful, subtly colored season. In an atmosphere of fun and exploration (and warmth) we will have a great week-end learning, painting and reveling in the beauty of winter."
