Day 1: Sat, May 21 9AM-4PM
Day 2: Sun, May 22 9AM-4PM
Workshop Description:
Each student will bring a landscape photo that they want to paint. The photo may include cows, goats, sheep, etc.
If you have several photos & need help deciding, email the images to me at jandmeger@gmail.com and I will give you feedback.
I will do a demonstration the first hour of class, then I will teach you to mix paint. I will give instruction on atmospheric perspective and use of your brushes. As you work I will give feedback & assist in corrections as needed.
If you draw really well, use burnt sienna thinned with turpenoid to draw right on the canvas panel. If you make a drawing error, use a rag & turpenoid & erase the mistake.
If you do not draw use carbon paper to transfer your image.
Class Audience:
Adult; will also accept advanced youth painters 16 or older.
Class Experience Level: Beginner
Class Size: 6 to 8 students
Required Supplies:
Canvas
I will provide an 11” x 14” warm (yellow, yellow ochre, orange, red) toned canvas board & carbon paper before each class begins.
If you want to paint larger, you must provide your own canvas.
If you are bringing your own canvas, tone your canvas a warm color. Mix the color with liquin and apply to the canvas. It should be dry in 8 to 24 hours, depending on the weather.
