Beginning Jan 14th, 2016 and continuing for 5 Thursday mornings to Feb 11th, 10:00 to noon, the St. Michaels Art League and the St. Michaels branch of the Talbot County Library will present Willie Crockett’s video course: Painting the Chesapeake in Watercolor.
The course focuses on drawing and painting work boats, and birds (particularly ducks and geese), and landscapes and skies. Students will learn what to look for in understanding the basic components of boats, how to draw birds at rest and in flight and how to create vivid skies and landscapes.
Each week viewers will be able to follow along with Crockett who will present a lesson using watercolors. Artists should bring their pencils, sketch books, paints, brushes and paper and follow along, or if you prefer, just watch!
The course is free and open to everyone. No previous painting experience is necessary.
