Painting Waterscape in Watercolor
​Workshop with Keiko Tanabe

Watercolor is probably the best medium to capture the mysterious quality of water whether it is the relaxing rhythm of gentle waves or a shimmering reflection of light.  Let's spend a day with Keiko Tanabe who will demonstrate her techniques and methods and answer questions so you can create a lovely waterscape.

You will learn:

• variety of watercolor techniques
• color mixing, color harmony
• composition
• useful tips for marine subjects

There will be an email announcement to participants to be sent as headcount is confirmed.
