Capturing the Coastal Light – a Seagull Painting
Transform a common coastal icon into a dramatic masterpiece. This workshop isn't just about painting a bird - it’s about the dramatic interaction of light and shadow. Whether you use watercolors, acrylics, or oils, you’ll learn to see beyond "white feathers" and discover the rich spectrum of greys, blues, and warm ambers that bring a subject to life. Simulate glowing sunlight by emphasizing shadow and light differences.
