LET'S PAINT TREES

Spend the day learning how to paint trees of various types, from deciduous (maple and birch) to coniferous trees (like jack pine and spruce). Bring a favourite photo or sketch of trees to use as a reference — Greg will have lots of photos to draw ideas from as well. This session is good for beginner or intermediate watercolour painters.
