5 STEPS FOR SUCCESSFUL LANDSCAPE PAINTING - Brenda Pinnick

Alpharetta Art Center • 238 Canton Street AlpharettaGA  30009 Organized by Alpharetta Recreation Parks & Cultural Services Department

About this event

Description

This painting workshop is appropriate for all mediums, focusing on the three critical stages of creating a painting from start to finish.


Each stage requires a different approach and mindset, moving from analytical to a more expressive finish. Finishing a painting is often the hardest part.
Learn to create checkpoints along the way so that when you do reach the end stage, you’ll have the courage and confidence to add your unique expression.
You’ll learn techniques to move the viewer’s eye around your painting while keeping them engaged. This class is for all levels. The class will be held indoors and some easels will be available for use. Check out your instructors work website https://www.brendapinnick.com/
