The coastal landscape is a beautiful and very distinct one painted by artists for thousands of years. We’ll take a fun approach to learning to see it differently and translate it into something more abstract in look and feel. Here’s some of what we’ll do:
- Look at the specific characteristics of the coastal landscape.
- We’ll look at ways to move from thinking about “things” to “shapes.”
- We’ll translate the specific coastal light into “values.”
- We’ll transform the way we see by removing ourselves from the “thingness” of the landscape.
- We’ll do pre-planning through preliminary drawings and value study paintings.
- We’ll have fun!
This workshop is not only about painting abstract landscape compositions, but also about learning to loosen up and paint more freely. All who attend will be able to apply the lessons learned to their own style of painting in their studios.
