Description
Color and the Landscapew/Claire HaikOctober 2610:00 am to 4:00 pmIn this one-day workshop, you'll learn how to use color for emotional impact and scenic clarity in your landscape paintings. We'll see how color works in realistic and expressive landscapes throughout art history and apply those lessons to our paintings.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced artist, this workshop will allow you to slow down and explore color from a new angle. We will discuss how color is used to create depth, atmosphere, and mood in a painting and how the color of the sky disperses throughout a landscape, unifying and harmonizing everything you see.
Students will work from photographs in the studio, and together we will do small painting exercises focused on color. This simplified approach is a great way to learn how to mix and use color effectively and will help you create subtle and sophisticated color worlds.
Suitable for anyone excited about slowing down and mixing intentional colors. Students are welcome to work in oil, acrylic, or gauche.
