Watercolor Rainbow Trout with Stephanie Facchine

About this event

In this workshop, you’ll learn how to capture the key identifying features of a rainbow trout. Steph will provide step-by-step instructions to paint your fish, including how to use reference photos and field guide notes to plan and execute your painting. Supplies are not included in the workshop fee. A PDF supply list is available in the workshop description.

What You’ll Explore:

• Creating gradients and blending vibrant colors

• Layering without overworking or muddying your paintings

• Accentuating details through color and patterns

• Enhancing texture by applying pen lines after you paint instead of outlining shapes beforehand

• Finding balance between control and letting go while you paint

• Gaining confidence in choosing colors and managing the amount of water on your brush

Basic knowledge of watercolor painting is recommended for this workshop. This is a great opportunity to hone your skills in a calm, supportive space.
