Lifetime access to 78 minutes detailed video tutorial based on ZOOM workshop "Spring River" on April 18, 2024.

In this workshop you will be practising the loose watercolour painting style of Ala Prima technique. You will study the basic rules of tonal perspective and how to create the illusion of distance and how to”infuse” air into your painting.

You will be practising a loose watercolour style of fast pencil free sketching using only your brushes. This style is perfect for fast painting during plain air sessions or for sketch booking, or journaling.

For all ages and for all skills levels.
