Course Overview
Paint landscapes from life
This course is a great option to solidify your foundational skills of mastering value, composition, and color theory traditionally before or while diving into the digital realm. If you have never painted traditionally and would like to dip your feet in, or want a course that will reintroduce you to the art of plein air and gouache, this eight week course will bring you up to speed. Most importantly, you don’t need to be a traditional artist to take this class; learning how to paint with real paints will help you as a digital artist because through painting en plein air, you are honing your observational skills and truly understanding how color relationships work through mixing colors yourself on a palette. The class will be taught in a combination of in- studio studies and outdoor studies en plein air, all demos being painted on 5” x 7” or 6” x 6” canvases.
