MOSAIC-INSPIRED MOUNTAINS IN WATERCOLOR with Miriam Hughes
Transform the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains into a vibrant mosaic of color, shape, and pattern! In this three-hour watercolor workshop, you’ll learn how to break down a mountain landscape into interlocking shapes and paint it using brilliant, layered color.
Students will learn to:
– Simplify a landscape into mosaic-like shapes and forms
– Create depth through color, value, and layering of pigments
– Design strong compositions inspired by our local mountain vistas
– Balance precision and creativity in a classroom environment!
Working from a simple mountain reference, you’ll complete a colorful, contemporary landscape that celebrates the rhythm and beauty of the Blue Ridge mountains. Suitable for adventurous beginners and experienced painters alike, this workshop offers a fresh approach to landscape painting through color, pattern, and design.
