Capturing the Cockspur Lighthouse

Watch Video of the charming lighthouse in Tybee Island harbor ( Click Here )

Join us for a peaceful painting session where we’ll capture the charming Cockspur Lighthouse off the coast of Tybee Island, Georgia. This class will focus on essential watercolor techniques: creating a soft, luminous sky with a “wet-on-wet” wash, using negative painting to define shapes, and achieving the gentle movement of water. You’ll leave with a beautiful, finished piece and new skills to apply to your future paintings.
