Class Description

Description

Landscape painting represents a rich artistic tradition with deep historical roots that continues to evolve. This comprehensive class guides students through the process of creating meaningful landscape paintings that authentically reflect our contemporary world and the environments we inhabit today. Through systematic exploration, participants will develop their compositional skills via value studies and preliminary sketches, while learning to select subjects that genuinely resonate with their artistic voice and personal vision. The course addresses the full spectrum of artistic elements, including color theory and application, diverse mark-making techniques, and the strategic layering of both paint and spatial relationships. Students will also study linear perspective and atmospheric perspective as these elements become relevant to their individual artistic practice and goals.

The class celebrates the full range of landscape expression, from highly representational work that closely mirrors reality to complete abstraction and every artistic approach in between. Students are encouraged to explore their own position within this spectrum and develop their unique visual language accordingly.

This course welcomes participants working in any media and at any level of experience, from complete beginners to advanced artists seeking to refresh their skills and explore new directions.

Holidays & Canceled Lessons:

We are closed for Thanksgiving, winter, and spring break. If we must close due to the weather, we will send out an email.

In any event where a customer wants to cancel their enrollment and is eligible for a full refund, a 5% processing fee will be deducted from the refund amount.
