Peaceful Lake Painting Workshop
Paint the peacefulness of an autumn day on the lake, with warm fall colors, soft light, and a beautiful reflection across the water.

You'll learn how to build a soft autumn landscape, mix beautiful seasonal colors, create a glowing sky and sunset, and use layers of acrylic paint to create depth and reflections across the lake.
