Abstracting The Landscape, Friday, March 26, 9-4, Oil or Acrylic

Abstracting The Landscape, Friday, March 26, 9-4, Oil or Acrylic

Take your landscapes to an impressionistic and somewhat abstracted level to make them more painterly and exciting. Students will paint landscapes from their own photos or those supplied by instructor and learn both design strategies and exciting brushwork to create works of art. The Instructor will demonstrate color mixing for color harmony and finishing techniques.

Take your watercolor botanical paintings to the next level by abstracting your images while focusing on winning design principles. Instructor will provide flower, bird, and insect photos and demonstrate different ways to decide color harmonies and exciting design possibilities. Students will work out their ideas with color studies before moving onto their final piece.
