How do you experience nature? Some people climb the biggest mountain they can find, others prefer beach combing the coast, while others cultivate their backyards into pristine gardens. How can we capture that energy and express those fleeting feelings of exhilaration, nostalgia, or serenity on the canvas?


This workshop explores abstraction, color and mark through the lens of landscape painting. A series of sequential exercises will help students identify the relationship between value and hue, build non-conventional palettes and abandon the local colors of the landscape. By the end of the workshop, studies will have a number of composition, value and color studies that could translate to a larger painting.


For beginning - intermediate.
