Negative painting is one of watercolor's most powerful techniques. Instead of painting the subject itself, we'll paint the shapes around it, allowing the image to emerge gradually through layers of value and carefully observed negative space.

Using this rustic Adirondack-style bench nestled among ferns and woodland shadows, we'll explore how to simplify a complex scene and create depth, atmosphere, and visual interest through negative painting.

This workshop welcomes artists of all levels. Whether you're completely new to negative painting or looking to strengthen your skills, you'll discover how enjoyable and freeing this approach can be.
