On June 27th we’re creating a seascape complete with tropical blue water, sandy beaches, and bright, fluffy clouds. It’s a great opportunity to practice composition as a whole as well as color blending with acrylics.

On July 18th we’re creating a dramatic mountainscape with soft, foggy layers, and a dark, jagged tree-line. It will be a chance to practice creating movement and perspective within a piece while also playing with layers and distance.
