Course Description

Students will learn how to break through the confusion of choosing a plein air painting subject, and learn how to plan a landscape composition by eliminating distractions and focusing on their subjects. They will learn how to capture light and shadow in their paintings, and how t o see the landscape in simplified shapes of color and values. They will learn how to mix colors with limited palette, and depict a variety of perspective techniques to create depth and dimension in paintings. We will cover how to sketch quick values studies, and add buildings, architectural elements and gestural figures to the landscape to create drama and interest in paintings. A variety of techniques will be demonstrated, and students will receive lots of hands on individual instruction and critique.
