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 !

​
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 !
