Discover methods for painting impactful reflections in water in this one-day workshop with award-winning painter Liz Prescott. With a focus on painting what you see rather than what you think you see, Liz will guide you in creating gorgeous water and sky scenes. This workshop will provide you with tools to get more drama in your paintings by exploring the incredible show that nature reveals in reflections. Learn to mix the multitude of colors seen in water reflections and play with hard vs. soft edges. Paint in acrylics or oils. Liz will demo in acrylics.

Please bring your sketching materials, charcoal and drawing paper, as well as a few blank canvases and your acrylic paints as well as your easel set up for painting outside. See a detailed materials list below the artist bio.

There will be a lunch break from Noon-1pm. You can bring your own lunch or check out one of the local restaurants in Yarmouth.
