Examine the techniques of two iconic landscape artists and unlock new dimensions in your own painting practice. We’ll begin with a guided study of a selected work by Tom Thomson, diving into the elements that made his landscapes so distinctive – composition, perspective, value, colour mixing and paint application. Over the first few days, you’ll practice mid to large brush strokes, blending techniques, and the use of colour, shadow and highlights to bring depth and atmosphere to your work. Over the final days, we’ll shift our focus to the expressive style of Lawren Harris. Using a photo reference of your choice from his body of work, you’ll begin a mid-sized to larger canvas painting, applying your newly acquired skills to develop your own unique style. Instructor Lee will work on two mid-sized to larger paintings alongside the class, offering demonstrations and personalized guidance throughout. Open to all levels – from beginner to advanced.
