Workshop Description
DEVELOPING STRONG LANDSCAPE PAINTINGS is for the serious beginner with acrylic experience to the intermediate painter interested in varying approaches to interpreting the landscape. In this workshop we will review/discuss the fundamental principles of color, value, form, perspective and composition. For the first two days we will paint from the provided references which is an excellent learning tool, and we will plan using shape and value sketches to determine the best compositional choices. Each “start” will begin using a different approach, developing the paintings together stroke by stroke. On day 3 we will work under Brian’s supervision from our own reference photos using the principles developed in the previous days. We will end with a critique. Be prepared to make at least 5 starts and have time for exercises as well. Lots of learnings and fun!
