Elements of Landscape Painting - Karen Winslow
Description: Painting outdoors, directly from nature, is a challenge. Dealing with changing light and weather can be frustrating to the beginner, as well as, seasoned artist. In Karen's class, you will learn to manage these challenges and learn to paint quickly and efficiently by:
- Organizing your palette and premixing color/value scales
- Painting in mass (instead of filling in lines)
- Following rhythms to create movement
- Simplifying design into 5 basic planes of light
- Striving to maintain the unity of the "whole" and controlling details
This approach gives the artist a solid foundation, or springboard, so that he/she will continue painting and learning long after the workshop ends. Special attention will be given to value relationships, spatial relationships and mass to detail relationships. In addition, Karen gives extensive instruction on how to mix colors and maintain structural harmony. All work will be small, fast and loose to capture the illusion of outdoor light, color, depth and mood. The goal of this class is to learn to use universal artistic principles, that see beyond copying, to compose a painting that has a unified light effect. All levels are welcome. Oils & pastels.
