Haunted Tree: Lifting Shapes From The Moody Dark

The dark is rising and the spirits gather. Come join us for a moody, dark scene in a lonely wood with a lone visitor; a ghostly figure peering out of the darkness. In this 30-minute class, we'll paint a spooky tree in the dark wood, where we’ll lift pigment out of the background to reveal a soft, vague ghost drifting through the mist.

You'll learn how and when to lift, how timing and dampness change your results, and how to control soft versus crisp edges. It's the perfect spooky-season project for learning a subtle technique with big effects.
