Join artist Nick Runge for a 2-day workshop where we will learn to paint first with watercolor, and then with watercolor and gouache. We will use photo references as Nick first demonstrates his approach and method while explaining the choices he makes, the intuition that he works with, and chances taken while painting a portrait. As students work on their own paintings, Nick will offer guidance, discussion and instruction for each individual student as they paint.
