Fall Foliage with Sarah Yeoman

Join us for this landscape watercolor workshop as we explore ways of simplifying the landscape by learning to see shapes and values and interpreting them in watercolor. Working from large shapes to small and from light to dark, finding form by gradually revealing light and shadow.

Paint along if you like or sit back and just watch. The video will be available for 3 weeks for you to replay and practice.
