Creating a human connection in a landscape can begin by adding elements that we recognize as man-made objects. Using the power of composition, value/notans, and color, such objects can create a flow through your painting. This class will focus on these and other elements of compositional design to enhance the painting as compared to copying images from photographs. Instruction will also focus on simplifying objects and structures, choosing vantage points, and using design elements. We will also use wet under-painting with either pastel and alcohol/water or paints such as gouache, watercolor, and acrylic inks. Demonstrations, direct instruction, and paint time are intertwined throughout this class.
