JULY 25 - In this plein air watercolor workshop, we will spend time exploring the landscapes around the VINS Nature Center. We’ll visit a few spots of interest to the group and pull out a minimum of painting supplies to loosely depict the view. A loose painting style uses shapes and washes to capture the essence of a scene without obsessing over every detail. This enjoyable technique adds abstract or impressionistic pages in your otherwise detailed nature journal. Part of the fun will be sharing nature, our work and various techniques with each other.
