Monthly Demonstration
Presenter: Natalia Aandewiel
Demo: Painting Seascapes
Monday, November 23 5pm
Classically trained in Kyiv and hooked on the wild pulse of the Pacific, Natalia Aandewiel paints coastal water with a palette knife, heavy paint, and zero hesitation. In this live demo, Natalia cuts through the mystery of painting dynamic ocean swells—revealing how to ditch over-blending, mix luminous translucent water, and sculpt crashing waves with bold, structural knife work that brings a canvas roaring to life.
Join us for our monthly virtual demo via zoom. View videos of past demonstrations.
