Using a forest creek as our subject, we will extend underpainting from a basic colour wash to an exciting, integral feature that does most of the work for you - guiding you all the way to a lively, deceptively simple artwork full of soft visual textures and layers.

• Paint faster and freer

• Add texture and interest

• Avoid overworking

• Strengthen your composition and planning

• Explore exciting colour combinations

Suits beginner to experienced; acrylic or water mixable oil paints.  

Together, we’ll choose a simple but very deliberate colour palette and briefly refresh some key composition tips. Then you will paint along with me to create a beautiful forest creek landscape, exploring techniques with water wash and rags as well as brushwork. Take the techniques to apply to your favourite subjects at home.
