Join award-winning artist and teacher David Dunlop Join award-winning artist and teacher David Dunlop for a Live Online Workshop and learn techniques to paint a landscape immersed in mist that evokes atmospheric depth and mystery.  David will begin­­­ by exploring how other master artists have composed and painted this type of landscape. He will then paint a demonstration painting of a landscape shrouded in mystery and mist, explaining the palette selections and detailing each step and technique of the process along the way.  David will use mixed media and oils.  There are no individual painting critiques in this Workshop, but David will be happy to answer your questions.  The Live Online Workshop is recorded in High Definition so that you can easily watch each step of the painting process and then rewatch it whenever you like.  #daviddunlop #painting lessons #oilpaintinglessons #paintingmyst
