Online Workshop - Fundamentals of Landscape Painting (limited spots)
This will be a 4 day workshop spread over 4 weeks. I will paint using a limited palette (red, blue, yellow & white). Although the demonstration will be in a limited palette, the concepts can be applied to any colors of your choice. You are free to work with your choice of colors.
This workshop is best for beginners and first timers. Learning how to paint is a lot about learning how to see and think. You will learn the fundamental concepts that help create distance in a landscape, which is the main goal of landscape painting. If you have never painted before or have dabbled or have struggled with color mixing, this workshop is for you !

Overall Concepts covered -
Sketching, Value relationships, Color mixing, Edges, Color temperature and more...
Week 1 - Overview of Materials, Sketching & Value studies
Value indicates how light or dark a color is. Understanding value is key to a successful painting. Values help create distance and atmosphere in a painting. We will try to interpret the landscape in black and white to simplify the concept. This will be the foundation for painting.
Week 2 - Color wheel and Color Mixing.
We will build upon our knowledge of W1. Learn to mix color using the limited palette, mixing interesting greens, muting & saturating color. The biggest advantage of the limited palette is Harmony ! It's what we all strive for.
Week 3 & 4 - Begin Painting !
Apply what we have learned in W1 & W2 and paint a landscape or seascape from start to finish. I will paint to demonstrate how I think through color and how I simplify a complex landscape.
We will begin with a block in. I will share my palette while painting, so you can see how I mix my paints.
At the end of the 4 weeks you would have learned what helps create distance in a painting, how to break down a complex scene and design it for a painting, how to think through color. Most importantly you will learn how to think technically through your own paintings.
Come prepared to get your brushes dirty. See you in class !
