Colors can be like children — sometimes they just don’t play together well. How do you change that? How do you make colors play — and work — well together in a painting?

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

Saturday and Sunday, June 22-23, 2019
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.

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!
