Capture the lowcountry with a profressional artist as your teacher and guide

Explore grassy marshes with your instructor, Kip Bradley, where the ebb-and-flow of the tide hugs stretches of gray sand, and as salt breezes drift through Spanish moss hanging from live oaks. Sketch herons, wood storks and other wading birds as they forage along the shore. Practice painting with water colors as you fill in the vibrant pigments of the antebellum homes for which the city of Beaufort is famous. Learn to create and hand-bind your own sketchbooks, develop methods of color mixing and practice linear perspective as you capture the land and marshscapes of this subtly majestic region.
