“Shadows on the Teche” Watercolor Rendering Series – Class 1: Perspective Rendering

Part 1 of a 5-part series.

The class explores perspective rendering by examining a photo of the Shadows on the Teche and creating a beautiful watercolor piece. Before the class, you will receive a drawing of the building and accompanying photographs. We ask that you please sketch out the building prior to the class to optimize time for painting. If you have any questions, please reach out to Laura Thomas at [email protected] or Kevin Harris Architect at [email protected]
