‘Perspective, Shape, and Value Contrast’

Bob Hannah loves to paint in bold colors with strong value contrasts, making the painting really “pop” in the viewer’s eye.  He feels fortunate to have taken workshops from some of the world’s most recognized watercolor artists for over 15 years, applying something from each to his own work.   His interests and subject matter are very diverse: boats, street scenes, landscapes, animals, still life or people.

The goal of this workshop is to help the student gain a solid understanding of perspective and to learn to really “push” the darks.
