Join artist Ed Martyniuk as he demonstrates the techniques and secrets of “wet on wet” oil painting. Starting with the sky and clouds, Ed works his way down the canvas, creating rocks and mountains, trees and bushes, and water and reflection as each landscape demands. From the glory of the Northern Lights to the lonely abandonment of a run down shack in a snow covered field, he produces astounding images.
