Workshop | Narrative Landscapes: Telling Stories though Figures

Learn to create dramatic paintings with impressionistic brushwork from concept, design to block-in and finishing details. You ’ll learn to mix value and color as a unit to create the illusion of light on form. This will be a fun and inspirational workshop!
Learn to draw the essence of the figure with simple shapes which suggest the figure rather than render in detail. The focus is on painting people in an environment; such as a beach or cafe and placing the figures in your landscape scenes.
