Tom Lynch Online Art Workshop: Unique Country Road Shadows, August 20-21, 2025

Tom has developed a 2-part evening workshop that takes the student on a step-by-step process to creating a finished painting. You will learn new watercolor techniques and secrets on how to create an award-winning painting of country road landscapes, including Tom’s unique “Paint the Shadow First” technique. On the first evening, you will learn how to paint buildings, trees, mountains, fields, roads, skies, clouds, and more.  You’ll paint these parts along with Tom on separate sheets of paper without the pressure of a finished painting.  Tom will demonstrate each part and then assist you and answer all your questions as you practice. On the second evening, you will put all the parts together (step-by-step) in a new effort and learn the fundamentals of focal point, value change, unity, design, composition, color harmony and more. You will have a completed painting at the end of the workshop. 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.

Pre-class instructions and/or specific details will be emailed 1 week prior to the workshop.
