Master the skills specific to studio landscape painting. Materials are presented in a way to help the beginner get started, as well as helping the experienced artist take their work to the next level. Each month begins with an entire class devoted to demonstration in either pastel or oil.
The other weeks begin with a brief presentation or illustration covering topics such as design, principles of color, handling materials, different techniques and procedures, separating spaces into planes, creating unity in a painting, color harmony, creating exciting color, linear perspective, and including figures and animals in landscape.
