JOHN SALMINEN
Realism Through Design
In this new offering, John will share his approach to painting the urban scene in watercolor. John will help participants in all aspects of painting a representational cityscape or town scene – choosing the subject, adding mood and creating emotional content, ligh ting the scene for dramatic effect, using photo reference in a meaningful way and most importantly, strengthening and enhancing representational painting through design.
The workshop will include demonstrations, critiques and lots of one-o n-one individual help. Whether you’ve never tried painting cityscapes or are an experienced urban painter, this workshop will be an invaluable opportunity to gain new painting insights.
*PLEASE NOTE - This workshop is filled. Contact Jane Collin at janecollin@comcast.net or 954-532-0017 to have your name placed on the waiting list.
