John will share his approach to painting the urban scene in watercolor, helping students with all aspects of painting a representational cityscape or town scene - choosing the subject, adding mood and creating emotional content, lighting the scene for dramatic effect, using photo reference in a meaningful way and most importantly, strengthening and enhancing representational painting through design. The workshop will include demonstrations, critiques and plenty of one-on-one individual help. Whether you've never tried painting cityscapes or are an experienced urban painter, this workshop is an invaluable opportunity to gain new painting insights.
