Nighttime: Go Dark! with Betsy Neely

Description

There is such joy in painting nighttime scenes! “The night” brings excitement and emotions and offers so many mysterious images you are forced to paint using rich, dramatic colors. Whether it be the beach, the mountains or a busy urban scene, this workshop will teach you techniques to help you convey your expression of the dark through discussion, demonstration and critique at the day’s end.
