This class will build upon some previous experience painting landscapes, and also serve as a refresher. Learn how to create a strong foundation through making an underpainting, colour mixing, effective brushwork and dynamic compositions. We will take a journey through different painting styles including chiaroscuro, layering impasto, Impressionist techniques and some more modern approaches like the Group of Seven. In-depth demonstrations and one-on-one assistance as well as inspiring images from famous painters will move us along day by day. This class will start you on your painting journey or improve upon your knowledge.
