Suitable for intermediate - advanced oil painters
In this mentored studio landscape class, explore how to create atmosphere in your paintings and bring a sense of reality to your work. You will learn how to create mood by observing structure, light and tone, while simplifying detail. Guidance will be provided on mixing colour tonally for outdoor landscapes and developing stronger composition.
The class encourages students to develop their own ideas and techniques. Bring your own work or reference material and receive individual guidance and support as you work on your painting.
