You’ll learn simple painting techniques that will help you to develop a realistic natural looking landscape of grape farm with traveling vines, foliage, and brilliant shadows pulling the viewer down the path into a warm summer day. Maybe the time of year is spring, summer, or early fall… you can use your imagination! You’ll learn how to add atmospheric dimension in the sky with an easy blending technique and in the canopy draped field using a stippling brush stroke creating an impressionistic display of leaves.

Using only 3 brushes and 8 colors we’ll create this conversational masterpiece with a magnificent lively sky in a charming tranquil setting. So let’s get painting and let’s get sipping!
