The Homestead – Water Color Painting Workshop with Tony Couch – September 14 to 18, 2009
The Glen Arbor Art Association sponsors Tony Couch’s Watercolor Painting Workshop from Monday September 14th to Friday, September 18th at Mountain Flowers Lodge at The Homestead.
This will be an immersive workshop with Tony doing a full sheet demonstration painting each morning, plenty of time for afternoon painting and a critique at the end of each day. He’ll unravel much of the mystery surrounding design, make color much simpler and show you how to make your paintings fresh and crisp. May students have said they have learned more in one day at a Tony Couch workshop than in four years of art school!
Tuition: $445 for the five days. Accommodations not included in tuition. Special accommodation prices are available at The Homestead.
