RECORDING PAINTING EVENT
Watch Ian McManus break down sunlight, shadows, and edges in watercolor
WITH LIFETIME ACCESS
What you'll see and learn:
This is not a standard painting demo. Ian will work from a pre-drawn street scene and focus on specific areas, one at a time. Sketches, explanations, and targeted brushwork on the zones where most paintings fail.
How shadows create form and connect separate objects into one readable composition
How to control edges so rooftops, figures, and backgrounds sit at the right level of sharpness
How to place figures quickly so they belong in the scene without competing with the focal point
Why your eye can only focus on one thing at a time, and how this fact should change the way you paint
Your workshop with Ian McManus
Shadows, edges, figures, tone. Each technique is isolated and explained.
Ian will work from a prepared drawing of a boatyard scene. Instead of rushing through a full painting, he will stop at each critical zone and show you what happens there and why. You will see how a roofline edge gets softened, how shadows give form to a building, how two different paint consistencies merge without accidents, and how figures drop into a scene at the right scale.
Expect sketches, explanations, and focused brushwork. This is the kind of session where you write things down.
