Workshop Description
ABSTRACTING THE LANDSCAPE in acrylic is for experienced beginner to intermediate level artists who would like to break out of realism, loosen up and to learn to abstract the landscape. Susan will guide us through several exercises to accomplish this, including color exercises to develop different palettes, value exercises to enhance design, the mechanics of building a painting and using line as an expressive tool. Susan will also include mark-making exercises and how to simplify our reference photos. We will then apply the above lessons to a larger canvas, introducing some texturing to the surface and experimenting with layers. We will have lots of individual time with Susan, and lots of time to paint. Includes demos and critiques and an atmosphere of encouragement and fun. This is an in-person workshop.
Location: St. Peter's Anglican Church, 903 - 75 Avenue SW Calgary
Dates: March 22 - 24, 2023 Wednesday to Friday
Price: $425.
