Are you struggling with painting trees in acrylics? Would you like some tips and techniques to use in your own work? If YES! this 2 day workshop may be just what you need! Some acrylic painting experience needed.

You have come to the right place!

Cindy will walk you through her method of painting the west coast evergreen tree. Whether it’s a Fir, cedar, pine or hemlock she portrays these trees in her art because she is surrounded by them in real life.

What will you learn in this workshop?

How to start with an underpainting over a semi-detailed drawing (don’t let that scare you)

Negative spaces, painting the sky around the tree

Cool and warm greens and where to put them

Light and shadow to sculpt the boughs

tree trunks with just enough detail

Keeping on track with the trunk

Branch flow

Plenty of art tidbits off the top of her head as she demonstrates and wanders the room 🙂 .

A Bonus PDF ahead of the class showing the difference between the evergreens she paints and how to recognize them outdoors. Just to get you in the zone.

Vaccine Proof and masks required (at time of event announcement, this will be updated according if/when the public health orders change).
