Loving The Landscape
Are you struggling to capture the beauty of a scenic view? Are you trying to paint beautiful light, but the painting does not seem to WOW anyone? Do your landscape paintings look ok, but you are not sure how to take it to the next level? Then this oil painting workshop with Carole Boggemann Peirson is the right one for you! The workshop is for beginning and intermediate students and will include topics such as composition, values, color scheme, focal point and more. Goal is not to go home with a finished masterpiece but to study and practice through a demo, examples, exercises and hand-outs…oh yes, and lots of personal attention! Bring your work for a (private) critique if you like.
Cost: $195 (supplies not included but available to registered students through Arts on Main)
