Join this session for tips on how to use your camera settings to creatively capture nature in a visually interesting way. We will be looking at composition, focus, and colour.

Many professional offices and places of business have large prints gracing their wall space of things such as fields of flowers, a butterfly perched on a leaf, and a single dew drop on a rose petal. These beautiful images are all around us in nature. It just takes that special "eye" to not only see it but to capture it in a way that will turn that simple little piece of nature into a beautiful piece of art. We will learn how to use different angles, light and shadows, and settings to make subjects pop.

Sierra did a wonderful job teaching. She is personable and seems comfortable with teaching. I've done watercolors for years but have been in a creative rut. This class taught me a major key to effectively using watercolors and I am so happy I decided to sign up.

I painted a wash of greys and a little brown. I used my brush to outline the elephant with negative painting. I used a stencil and watercolour pencil sanded over it to make the bush areas. Starting at the eyes helps with measuring the position of other parts of the elephant.
