Off Prince Edward Island - #93 - Original Watercolor Painting

During a trip to Prince Edward Island in the Canadian Maritimes, I saw this sailboat heading out to sea. I was intrigued by the deep color of the sails and the unusual rigging.

Design for Painters Seminar

The Fine Arts Center of Hot Springs has scheduled my 1-day Design for Painters Seminar on Tuesday, October 25, from 9 to 4 at the Center.  In this lecture & discussion seminar, I explain the elements and principles of design, and how they can be applied to make all types of paintings more successful. I also cover the basics of perspective, shadows, and reflections, which must be executed well to make any representational painting believable.  More information is available at my Workshops page.  Contact Donna Dunnahoe at 501-624-0489 or via email at donna@hsfac.org for more information about this workshop.
