Join artist and award-winning David Dunlop for ano Join artist and award-winning David Dunlop for another fascinating and inspiring new 2.5-hour mixed media landscape painting workshop – Wildflowers In Atmosphere. In this Workshop David will examine how to create the effects of wildflowers cloaked in mystery when immersed in atmospheric effects – in seaborne fog, a river’s rising mists, or soaked in the humidity of a summer morning.  In David’s inimitable, inspiring and entertaining style, he will explore historic paintings of different aspects of flower paintings and discuss different compositional considerations.  The painting demonstrations will show you how to create atmospheric effects while creating persuasive wildflowers. The Workshop will be recorded for your later review.  #oilpainting #landscapepainting #landscapepaintingclasses #daviddunlop #lpaintingworkshops #paintingflowers #oilpaintingclasses
