This has been one of my most popular live workshops, and now it's available online, on demand!
I'll guide you step-by-step through a process I developed to achieve these colorful trees against a dark winter sky with stars and a moon, with long shadows that stretch across the snowy landscape.
Here's a little overview video of the process and a list of supplies that are needed.
I hope you'll join me!
