This workshop is designed for beginners and intermediate students – all mediums welcome. Ann will be working in oils.
This workshop will focus on composition, structure and design of your landscape. Before a painting is even begun, decisions have to be made about the overall design. Some of these decisions include:
1. Focal Points/Planes
2. Shapes and Lines
3. Design Principles
4. Space/Orientation/Flow
5. Use of values/value studies
6. Colour harmony – limited palette
Each morning will start with a brief discussion of the above subject matters, followed by exercises designed to help you think about the composition before starting. This will be followed by a short demo, after which each participant will be working on their own paintings, with one-one-one assistance from ann. You will be asked to bring your own reference photos and we will spend time going over them prior to painting.
