Workshop: Light and Atmosphere in Watercolour Landscape, Sat/Sun, July 10th-11th 2010.  For more information visit Mechosin International Summer School for the Arts here

This watercolour landscape painting course will concentrate on suggesting the effects of light and atmosphere. After a brief part of the day spent in the classroom reviewing how to distinguish local colour from the effects of light and shadow, participants will head out, weather permitting, into the landscape to paint. The spectacular coastline on which Lester B. Pearson College is located, on the edge of the Pacific Ocean, should provide ample opportunity for the direct observation and painting of light and atmosphere.
