Landscape Painting: Capturing the Atmosphere
Date: August 27 – 30
Tuition: $750
Skill level: all levels
This 4-day workshop is for all levels. We’ll begin with an introductory slide show. Then we’ll plan to spend the first couple of days painting outdoors (weather permitting) where artists will learn to quickly gather the necessary visual information needed to complete a painting in the field. Learning how to simplify a landscape and interpret color relationships will be a primary focus of this workshop but other fundamental concepts will also be discussed including the importance of values, shapes and edges.
The second part of this workshop will be in the studio where the focus will be on designing a studio painting from plein air studies and photos taken from the scene. Artists will learn to analyze the information they gathered in the field interpreting color and value relationships in order to create depth in a landscape painting. Many outdoor painting principles will be discussed – including how to design a landscape, and the importance of values, shapes and edges – but with a greater focus on composing a finished piece.
There will be slide presentations, demonstrations, critiques and lots of one-on-one instruction.
