Art of the Landscape
Fri 20 Sep 2024, 9:30 am - Fri 13 Dec 2024, 12:00 pm
Artists have been painting the landscape since ancient times to try and understand and celebrate the world around them. In this class for beginners and improvers, students will learn, through demonstration and practice, how to use composition, colour and texture to tackle a variety of landscape and urban scenes.
Whilst inspiration will be gained by informal discussion of artists and their environment, students will be encouraged to develop their own style using photographic reference and a variety of different mediums, including watercolour, acrylic and pastels.
