Spring into Green with this easy paint-along demo with Master Artist, Annie Strack

This time of year can be difficult to capture in paint because nature tends to be monochromatic by nature (pun intended!) with everything being green. In this demo, Annie will take you thru the process of mixing a plethora of greens and choosing colors that with add excitement and variety to your landscapes. Learn how to use values, colors, and a variety of perspective techniques when painting trees to add depth and dimension to your landscapes. This demo is perfect for both plein air painters and studio painters! This demo is helpful to painters of all levels.

All artists, whether they are new to watercolors or experienced painters, will benefit from watching Annie as she explains her techniques for creating spectacular paintings. Multiple watercolor techniques are covered in the session, including glazing, washes, dry brush, lifting, & more. Students will gain an understanding of the properties of different paints, learn how to successfully mix colors, and how to use values and color temperatures to enhance their compositions.  Students will watch and learn as each painting step and technique is explained and demonstrated with clarity that makes the lessons easy to absorb.

Baltimore Watercolor Society Workshops

 My workshop for the Baltimore Watercolor Society sold out immediately and they had a full waiting list, so I did two full, back to back, online workshops in two weeks to accommodate everyone. Here's the paintings I demonstrated in those workshops. 

Everyone did two paintings in each workshop, learning a variety of techniques and acquiring a lot of new skills.

These workshops were both on how to paint koi, and I taught how to create the abstracted backgrounds and add movement, and how to choose colors for the fish. 

I also explained color harmony when choosing colors, and using values and patterns to enhance the composition, and more. 

Coming up, I will be teaching an online paint-along demonstration on March 27th at 7 pm, all about using greens in the landscape and keeping the colors lively and fresh. I will post more information about that demo soon and how you can sign up for it, so stayed tuned!
