Join acclaimed watercolorist and instructor, Margie Samuels, for a magical week painting in the breathtaking French Alps!

Each morning will start with a brief review of the watercolor skills that you will be using in that day’s plein air landscape. These lessons, focusing on various techniques, will take your watercolor painting to the next level:
———

Employing different kinds of washes;

Adding a variety of textures for interest and movement;

Enhancing your paintings through thoughtful color mixing;

Using a variety of tricks to add depth to your landscapes; and,

Inserting people into paintings, making them come alive with movement, scale and interest.

———

Each day participants will be given a “painting challenge,” where you can carry these new skills into the plein air landscape that you are creating.

This workshop will be appropriate for both beginning painters as well those with more experience.  With a maximum size of just 15 students, there will be plenty of opportunity for individual instruction. Each location will include an on-site demonstration by Margie where you will get to see the steps it takes to bring your painting to life.

Participants will leave with the tools they need to create a well-composed, visually exciting piece of art.
