Northern Lights Watercolour Landscape – Artelier Studios
November 23, 2024 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Northern Lights Watercolour Landscape with Francis Marte
Do you want to learn how to paint this Northern Lights in watercolour? The instructor will show you an easy method to paint this popular subject, that almost paints itself, using wet-on-wet free-flowing technique. The workshop will be done in three steps – painting the Northern Lights, distant cityscape and the snow filled hay bales in the foreground. You will also learn how to use masking fluid, splattering and the use of some gouache.
We will use several photo references that you can choose to your liking. The instructor will guide you step-by-step with demos and useful critiques so you can continue to paint these scenery on your future watercolour paintings!
