Explore the rich tradition of landscape painting and its great symbolic potential. Learn how space may represent and express emotion, memory, and dream. Drawing inspiration from masters like Otto Dix, George Innis, Winslow Homer, Albert Pinkham Ryder, Munch and Vermeer, you will practice painting from imagination, personal photographs, memories, and plein air sessions. Your landscape may be as large as a sky of stars, or as near as a tiny garden. Only you know what scenes are touchstones in your life. We will discuss sources for personal landscape particular to each student. Finding your own reason for painting may surprise you for the motivation it lends to painting itself.
