Fellow Painter:
This brochure describes the classes I will be giving in Saddle Brooke during March. terence_leach@yahoo.com.
Class starts March 5, and runs through March 26. The 4 week all day class runs from 9:00am to 3:00pm with an hour for lunch.
Our topic will be "desert techniques". Hope to see you there.

Desert
Techniques in Watercolor
In this class we devote our attention to techniques designed to capture the desert around us. Please note the material list at the end of this brochure.
Project 1: We will work on techniques to capture the texture and volume of desert rocks, mountains, and sandstone formations.
Project 2: We will spend this week on desert flora. The trees, cacti, grasses, and sage of the desert will be our focus in this project.
Project 3: I thought it would be fun to spend some time on cliff-house subjects. Capturing the volume and broken forms of Cliff-houses can lead to fantastic paintings. We'll also put to use some of the techniques we learned in week 1.
Project 4: Get ready! Skies and thunder clouds join me in a paint along where we have some fun with the great skies of our desert.
