Deep Water Painting – The Villages Enrichment Academy
Create a serene seascape exuding tranquility, capturing the essence of deep waters gently swaying. Delight in memories reminiscent of leisurely voyages aboard a cruise ship.
Embrace creativity by introducing an element of intrigue—a fleeting shadow hinting at an overhead plane or the soft glow of the sun piercing through billowy clouds. That will give you the illusion of a shadow on the water. This class takes time, The more layers that you add to your painting the more interesting it will be.
