Learn the secrets of creating beautiful, harmonious color in your paintings, and put them into practice!

10 AM to 5 PM — bring your lunch!

Are you interested in finding ways of simplifying your landscape painting to get at essentials? Or would you like to take what you see and using it as a springboard to a new creation, rather than painting more realistically?

We will focus on three different ways to simplify and play with images of the landscape. We'll be looking at several painters, some familiar, some new, to discover new ways of approaching painting the landscape. You will create, depending on time, two or three new paintings.

Do you know what it's like to gaze at a beautiful scene, and wish you could capture it on canvas? You'll learn how here, creating a landscape painting from a photograph, and using a limited palette and water–soluble acrylic paints.

10 AM to 5 PM each day — bring your lunch!

How many times have you been stuck on a painting, not knowing just what it was that wasn't working?

In this workshop, you will learn the nuts and bolts of what makes a painting work, including:
  • what a focal point is, and where to put it in your painting
  • how to lead the viewer's eyes through the painting to your focal point
  • how to manage converging lines
  • the importance of values, and how to use them effectively
  • the use of complementary colors and color intensity to lead the viewer's eyes through the painting
  • how to find what isn't working in your painting
  • and more!
