Virtual Painting Class: Expressive Skies in Watercolour!

Description

Unleash your creativity and unwind while creating your very own expressive watercolour landscape with a focus on skies in this online workshop! Get a sense of intuitive watercolour as painter Tiffany Blaise illustrates how to create a dramatic watercolour sky using experimental techniques. Learn how to mix and blend colours, paint clouds and reflections, and how to let loose with watercolour paint in this fun and all levels workshop.

Vancouver-based artist Tiffany Blaise makes contemporary landscape paintings. In her practice, Tiffany explores the themes of movement and transformation through reinterpreting subjects such as dramatic coastlines and swirling skies. Her abstract artwork unites the physical landscape with the world of the mind. “My art practice is a journey rooted in the exploration of thoughts and nature. I want to portray the connection between our inner nature and the landscape that surrounds us.” She sources imagery of dramatic landscapes and seascapes while adventuring around British Columbia and abroad. Tiffany aims to help people surround themselves with uplifting artwork that connects them to nature and presents an opportunity for contemplation.

-Atleast 2 sheets of watercolour paper. Any brand or thickness will work, but I like Opus Finest Watercolour paper
