Abstract Landscape Painting

This class explores abstraction, color and mark through the lens of landscape painting. This workshop will briefly look at the traditional elements and principles of landscape painting, and use these tools to inform and create compelling abstract work of art. This workshop is designed to provide the structure necessary to enter an abstract painting language with intention and ease, while still providing space for freedom and intuition. Abstract Landscape Painting is designed to help the artist better understand composition, value, color, and most importantly, how to become a looser and more expressive painter.

• 3-5 reference Photos

• Paints (watercolor, acrylic, or oil)

• Pencil, HB-4B

• Paint brushes, small-medium sized

• Paint supplies (IE paper towels, water, palette, Gamsol if using oil)
