    Bring your sketchbook and your paints! You will be learning about:
    • Mark making and develop an abstract language that is unique to you
    • The importance of using value in your work to create a sense of depth and space
    • How to mix a limited harmonious pallet, and
    • Explore the construction of organic forms. Then focus on composition by arranging these forms to create dynamic relationships

    Learn how to paint landscapes with oils and acrylic in the Alla Prima style from plein air and landscape artist Cliff Austin. Techniques for approaching how to paint a landscape will be covered in this class at an intermediate and advanced level. Class will be structured around the drawing, painting and development of expressive techniques of landscape art with students working in both oils and acrylic.

    Class will include ongoing critiques, “how to” demos from Cliff, and tutorials designed for each individual student’s natural way of painting.

    Students will learn Nōtan and planning before putting brush to canvas. All the “work” is planned before so that the actual fun of painting can show amazing results.
