Rock Creek Between Snowy Evergreen Trees
Join artist Vinita Pappas as she creates a winter scene of Rock Creek, a tributary to the North Elk River. In this video, Vinita demonstrates how to use masking fluid to create highlights and how to work on damp paper for more working time and softer edges. She also shows her color choices, mixing techniques, and how to create rich darks. With a half-sheet-sized paper, Vinita creates a beautiful winter landscape that will make a stunning addition to any collection. Don't miss this opportunity to learn from a talented artist and create a beautiful watercolor painting.
