Central Virginia Arts will hold a workshop on Landscape Painting in Watercolor Saturday, Feb. 2, from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. at the Longwood Center for the Visual Arts in Farmville. The workshop is open to the public. Those interested should contact Deborah McClintock at (434) 394-2394.

How do artists capture the mood and light effects in landscape? In this workshop, participants explore how to use color and form to create an expressive landscape painting. A demonstration shows how to see color and simple shapes as a starting point, and how to create atmospheric perspective and depth while developing individual styles.
