Atmospheric Perspective -
A 4-day live Watercolor Workshop with Frank Eber!
Students will learn how to create luminous, lively, and expressive paintings, with a focus on color accuracy, mark making, and the interconnection of shapes. Frank stresses a solid foundation by teaching value, color mixing, edges, underpainting, principles of design and composition, as well as concepts of light and shadow. This class will reach beyond technique, observing the elusive balance of forces that create beauty in painting.
At the end of this workshop, students will leave with a thorough understanding of essential painting principles, including atmospheric effects and how to apply them in their own work.
Each day, Frank will demonstrate different subject matter and address the challenges that come with it. His demos are broken up into sections so students will be able to remember and follow along.
The workshop will be limited to 16 people.

Time: 9:30 am - 4:30 pm
Location: Downtown Art Center, Honolulu, HI
