Getting Started with Landscape Painting One-Day workshop

Sunday, October 4th from 10:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m.

In this workshop, students will learn the steps to simplify the process of acrylic landscape painting. Skills and techniques that will be covered include preparing your canvas and what makes a good composition--from layout, shapes, and color choices. Beginner and intermediate painters welcome! If you haven't painted in a long time, but would like to get back into it, this is the workshop for you!

6-hour workshop fee does not include materials. A list of recommended supplies can be found below the instructor bio or emailed upon request.

Non-members: $125 / Members: $100

NOTE: Eventbrite charges non-refundable processing fees for online payments and now displays these fees in the total ticket price shown on this event listing.

We will have an hour break for lunch midday. The studio will be closed during this break, but there are nearby parks where you can eat lunch if you brought your own, or you can check out one of the local restaurants in the area.

Instructor bio: Terry Wilson says, "Life tends to come full circle. 10 years ago, I took some acrylic painting glasses with Catherine Bickford, at Artascope, and I never stopped. I have studied under dozens of artists since first picking up a paintbrush."

*11 x 14 or 12 x 16 canvas panels or stretched canvas

* an assortment of brushes; round, flat and angled…..anywhere from a 1/2” up to an 1 1/2, your choice. I tend to work with a lot of half inch to inch flat and angled brushes primarily.

* I like to use a Masterson‘s wet pallet and also a pad of Grey Matters paper, 12 x 16 for mixing. (Alternatively, get the gray pallet paper if you’re just starting out and place it in a small cookie sheet.)

* a container for water

* an apron

* a small spray bottle

* a couple of pallet knives in plastic is fine. They are primarily for mixing.

* 18 inch ruler

* paper towels

* vine, charcoal or charcoal, pencils, just to sketch in your composition

* a drawing pencil, and a small pad of paper for sketching and notes

* paints - I primarily use Golden heavy body acrylic paint but I also like Lukas. It is really your preference.
