Gateway Canyons....a new venue for artists.........
Francese stated: "I am looking forward to this workshop as we will be painting one of Western Colorado's premier resort destinations. The sandstone cliffs and the surrounding area with the Dolores River running through the property is some of the most spectacular scenery I have ever had the pleasure to paint."
Please remember to bring all materials and gear you would normally use in a plein-air workshop setting including easels, paper, brushes and paint. The following American Journey semi-opaque watercolors will be necessary for painting the sandstone cliffs.
Apricot Orchid Periwinkle
Peachy Keen Sky Blue Mint Julep
Taylors Flamingo Pink Andrews Turquoise
