Learn to paint the extraordinary colors, cloud formations and beauty of the coastal landscape are.  In this three day workshop, you will fine tune our appreciation by creating a series of paintings with a focus on: sunsets, sunrises, the gradation of sky colors and the cloud formations and reflections in water. The instructor will provide demonstrations and lots of group and individual instruction.

Students will work from their own photos which could be from their phone or iPad. Bring lots to choose from. At least four of sunrise, four of sunsets, at least four of cumulous clouds, at least four of other clouds. Include a number that have water in them.
