Let your eyes do the blending and think like Monet as you explore Santa Barbara and the magical effects of color and light in plain air landscape painting. Try both watercolor and acrylic while shading and blending land, sea, and cloudscapes. Students draw inspiration from the outdoors and the Museum’s permanent collection when they bring their sketches back to the studio to incorporate a range of painting techniques including color mixing, wet and dry brush techniques, layering, and composition.
