Tom Lynch Online Art Workshop: Tom's Favorite Secret Tips and Techniques, April 12, 2025

If you want to take your art and skills to the next level, then this class is just for you!  This 1-day workshop takes the student on a step-by-step journey to creating a finished landscape painting filled with color, contrast, sunlight, and shadow. You will learn Tom’s secrets and watercolor techniques, including using spray bottles, to create award-winning art! In the morning session, you will practice painting different parts of the landscape on separate sheets of paper using Tom’s unique tips, secrets, and methods.  These lessons will give you that all-important confidence to have when you later create a finished painting. During the 1-hour lunch break there will be a slideshow showcasing many watercolor paintings from Tom’s studio, workshops, and plein-air collection. In the afternoon session, you will learn Tom’s amazing spray bottle techniques and how to apply them to the landscape.  You’ll learn so much more, also, as you put all the painted parts together into a finished painting. Tom provides a comprehensive amount of information for building strong foundations which can be applied to all your future paintings. Prior to the workshop, students will receive the photo reference, preliminary sketch, lesson guides, video tips and techniques, articles to read, bonus videos to watch, and color lesson guides to print out. You can follow the same scene that Tom demonstrates, one of the other options he will send, or work from your own composition. Tom’s 3 camera set up makes for great viewing of his demos and close-ups, and you can also benefit by listening as he helps each of the other students.  The demonstrations will be recorded and available to replay, pause, rewind, fast-forward and screenshot, at your own pace and convenience, for 4 WEEKS following the workshop.  As a bonus, Tom will continue to assist you by email and/or text for 4 WEEKS, answering your questions, reviewing your work, and offering suggestions for your paintings.  This class is for artists having basic watercolor skills, and up.
