This workshop is for those who already enjoy working with pastels and/or oils, or committed students who wish to experiment with these mediums.

We will practice the important fundamentals of Studio landscape painting to help us get from the Concept to completion. Ideas, Design, Values, color to finishing a studio landscape painting.

We will focus on the how and why of landscape painting, working from landscape photos and plein air studies. Students will improve their composition skills, understand the importance of simplification of shapes and masses, learn about values, atmospheric perspective, create a center of interest, the use of edges, drawing and color.
