Many of us travel, whether real or imagined. Learn how to document your travels through watercolor and colored pencil on a small scale. Explore techniques, methods, and materials to pack in your suitcase for your next adventure. Photography is an excellent way to document your journey, however, painting or drawing a place deepens the experience. Learn how to paint moments from previous/future trips or paint your way into a dream trip. Using memories and captured moments, participants will paint and draw from photos in the studio, en plein air (outside), and will ultimately create a collection of small works in a book, telling a travel story.

One of the most common mistakes painters make is to forget to bring exciting light into their paintings. Even when compositions and other aspects work well something is often missing in the presentation of light. Mark will show you how to fix this problem by applying many of his favorite techniques acquired over his 40 years as a full time artist and illustrator. This fun, two day workshop will focus on the power of values which shift from light to dark. Whether you are a beginner or professional Mark will bring you to the next level. Expect each day to begin with some general lessons and at least one demo followed by one on one instruction for the rest of the day. A group critique will be available for anyone who would like to participate late in the afternoon on the second day. Students are encouraged to bring any medium they feel comfortable with, Mark will be using oil paints.
