"The Landscape of Building Workshop" will give you a clear guide how to break down the elements of a basic landscape, how to see the basic shapes and values and how to paint those. We will first explore these concepts in the studio and then take that expertise outside to do work on location. We will also explore a simple way to look at buildings, discussing perspective and the use of the picture plane. We will also explore this information first indoors and then go outside to draw and paint buildings. The last day of the workshop will work indoors from information we have gathered to create a painting. Come and enjoy both of my classes, they are back to back.
