Class Description: The focus of this workshop is to create a compelling landscape painting with acrylic paint. We will explore the importance of design and composition before painting and how to simplify what you see in your reference photo. This will involve sketching and trying different value studies with black and white paint. The goal is also to expand the participants understanding of acrylic painting and to encourage expressive use of color and to share an array of tips and techniques.

The workshop will include a short demo and mini-lessons through the day as well as individual instruction.

-Reference photo(s) of what you would like to paint (5 x 7 or 8 x 10 is recommended), or a fully charged iPad/laptop works well too. Working from a photo on your phone is challenging.
