4A39 *NEW* Exploring Composition in Landscape Painting
-Adult- | Available
Is this a good image to paint? What keeps the viewer interested? What makes a good composition? If you’ve pondered these artmaking questions, this course is for you. Through drawing and painting exercises, you’ll learn how to create focal points, directional lines, active and passive shapes, interesting tonal variation, and use desaturated hues to develop perspective and mood. You’ll also learn analytical techniques using thumbnail sketches – practicing first with well-known landscape paintings and then your own reference photos. The goal is to apply your new understanding and knowledge to produce a well-composed original landscape(s). Acrylics, oils, watercolour all suitable. Some painting experience recommended. *Please note: there will be no class on May 18th*
