24-A211 Explorations in Acrylic Landscape – David Shkolny and Will Truchon

Learn the fundamentals of painting Alberta landscapes in acrylic from two instructors! The first eight days, with David, focus on the basics of blocking out shapes, colour mixing, using negative space, and exploring different brush strokes from prairies to mountains. The second seven days, with Will, build on those skills and also delve into impressionism, and bolder palettes of post-impressionism and pointillism. This class is focused on beginner or intermediate level of skill.
