Join award winning and nationally recognized artist Tom Hughes for a two-day weekend workshop in the White Mountains of NH. Tom will guide participants in painting rocks and water at Jackson Falls. Students will learn how to paint the broad shapes and rhythms in the stationary rocks as well as the moving elements in the water. Close attention twill be placed on value. Students will learn how to paint rocks and make them feel solid. This will be complimented  by the transparent, reflective, and foaming water, and other elements in the landscape. Through demonstration and individual attention, Tom will guide students with color so it  looks as natural on canvas as it does in the landscape.

On the first day, students will jump right into painting with one-on-one attention from the instructor. After lunch, Tom will give a painting demo addressing issues from earlier in the day. On day two, there will be an enjoyable value exercise lesson first thing in the morning. It will help students make sense of what they are seeing by separating value from color. After lunch, students will paint in full color for the remainder of the day with instruction at the easel. Class size is limited to 10 people to allow for individual attention. Students are responsible for bringing their own supplies and can work in oils, acrylics or watercolor. All levels welcome.
