Test your paints! This is important for acrylic and watercolour paints. If you are not sure if your colours are transparent or opaque, here's a video to help you test your paints.
Do you need help selecting your painting surfaces for the workshop? Here's a tutorial about choosing between canvas, panel and more. This video was made especially for Enchanting Waters Workshop as we paint water lilies and whimsical fish.

Course Description
Inspired by Nature - Painting Enchanted Waters in Acrylic
Explore the captivating art of negative painting with acrylics to depict water lilies and whimsical fish as you join us on a creative voyage into the delightful world of “Inspired by Nature: Painting Enchanted Waters.”
Water, with its ever-evolving character, possesses a spellbinding quality. When we introduce water lilies, fanciful fish and the warm sparkle of sunlight, true magic takes form. In this workshop you learn how to make fascinating textured underpainting. Then build your painting with minimal details and layer shapes with transparent and opaque acrylics on canvas and panel.
Within this journey, you will master the intricacies of negative painting to reveal delicate petals, glistening leaves, and the dance of light upon the water's surface. These skills will allow you to create an ethereal atmosphere in your artwork.
In this interactive online program, Linda offers new projects each day, taking you through step-by-step exercises in this engaging workshop. This unique hybrid program blends live instruction with exclusive video demonstrations created for this workshop. You'll have ample time to work on your projects and seek guidance through the process.
