Contemporary Landscape Painting using Traditional and Abstract Techniques

Combine classical landscape painting techniques with principles of abstraction to push beyond the basics. This workshop explores mark-making, color theory, and composition while experimenting with mediums like Cold Wax and Galkyd for texture and layering.

The Abstracted Landscape

This 4-day class covers the fundamental tenets of design in art. It’s not specifically a non-objective (pure abstract) class, you get to decide the level of abstraction you wish to explore. It is more of a learn-how-to-think class where you learn a process that you can use to explore new ideas. It’s a crash course on finding authenticity in your work. We cover the seven tenets of creative expression and the language of art. Larry’s intent is to help each artist find a way that works that is unique to them, whether they wish to interpret from life, push their process, or go fully abstract. View the Supply List Here |
