Charles Reid is best known for his uninhibited watercolor style, and teaches students of all levels to catch the light and breathe of a moment in time while allowing beautiful flowers to bloom on their canvas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis workshop begins with a discussion of contour drawing that will provide students with the anchor from which to develop their entire composition. Reid then builds on this technique by providing a step-by-step demonstration of color mixing and tone. Although many students think of water only as a means for applying pigment to the page and cleaning their brushes, Charles Reid will demonstrate the important role that water plays in the development of a painting, and teaches students to manipulate the flow of water while they work. In the second portion of this watercolor painting workshop, Reid will move on from the basics and into a discussion of capturing light and atmosphere in floral paintings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eStudents will benefit from Charles Reid's demonstrations of two still life portraits featuring flowers full of energy, spirit, and freshness. After watching Reid demonstrate how to draw, color mix, use tonal values, incorporate brushwork, and arrange composition you too will be able to avoid overworking your scene, and create stunning, beautiful flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Charles Reid","offers":[{"title":"Streaming","offer_id":44044289147137,"sku":"purple_lsv_paintflowein-238","price":47.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"DVD","offer_id":44044289114369,"sku":"22-CR3d","price":47.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Streaming + DVD","offer_id":44044289179905,"sku":"purple_lsv_paintflowein-238","price":77.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0057\/8161\/8732\/products\/22-CR3dCharlesReid.jpg?v=1666197108"}],"url":"https:\/\/painttube.tv\/en-ca\/collections\/flowers\/tier2.oembed","provider":"PaintTube.tv","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
