Led by instructor Gerry Heydt, work at home to explore landscape painting from your photos with small canvases and a limited palette. This online class will cover: simplifying the landscape into a dark and light study, mixing realistic colors with a more limited palette, and representing scale and perspective to capture the essence of the landscape. Learn how to handle skies, grasses, trees, water, and other landscape elements by simplifying and using expressive brushwork and palette knife. Instructor will provide both demonstrations and one-on-one feedback.
To participate, students will need to have access to the following materials/tools in their home:
Computer, tablet, or phone with internet and access to Zoom
