Description
Painting: Contemporary Landscape2-Day Workshop w/ Edward Duff
This two-day workshop will help students learn to simplify and narrow down the complexity of the landscape in order to capture the essence of a scene. Focusing on value and limited color palette studies, accurate color mixing, and emphasis on composition, students will be encouraged to find their own personal direction as they create contemporary works of art. During the two days, students will receive individual instruction and will benefit from demonstrations and group critiques. Demonstrations will be done in oil, but all painting media is welcome in the workshop.
