Paul Jackson - "Dramatic Light and Luminosity in Watercolor"
Friday and Saturday May 19 & 20, 2023​​ -- 9am - 3pm each day 
​
First Presbyterian Church of Littleton 
1609 W. Littleton Blvd.
Littleton, CO 80120
Watercolor is the ideal medium for interpreting and expressing the complex subtleties of light. Its transparency makes it uniquely suited to convey luminous surfaces and veils of atmosphere. With it you can create pale washes as well as dark, powerful and moody images. It is a lovely and fluid language in which to express any idea or image. Paul’s focus for this workshop will be to guide you through a painting from beginning to end, as you paint together a stunning image of dramatic light and luminosity.
