We will cover the essential techniques needed to get started, from basic washes and color mixing to creating light and shadow. By the end of the day, you will walk away with a finished piece and the confidence to sketch or paint your own urban adventures. Participants will receive all artist quality supplies to complete a 9 x 12 painting.
