Learn strategies on how to paint loose and free while maintaining solid principles of design. Over the course of this two day workshop, we will work on many different exercises in order to create successful paintings that reflect personal confidence and boldness. The focus will be on obtaining a variety of approaches to add to your “artist’s toolbox”. This will include creating strong compositions, achieving color harmony, and maintaining correct values. We will paint from still life arrangements and photo references.
Students should bring their own photographic reference of landscapes, cityscapes, marine, people in the landscape, or still life. Lynn will bring some flowers for our exercises, as well, since painting from life is so important.
Oil painters and acrylic painters of all levels will benefit from this workshop. All instruction will be in oil, and will include painting demonstrations by the instructor.
