Through this course, students will be introduced to the fundamentals of oil painting urban and rural landscapes whilst creating artwork of their own.
Using recommended materials and techniques, learn how to interpret the landscape. Teaching will be through demonstrations and one-to-one time with each student.
Learn to create underpaintings to make paints glow. Explore various ways of composing a landscape, how to select particular parts of a study, how to crop as well as expand a composition and how to select, or highlight the most interesting parts.
NB: Please remember to check the materials list for what to bring.
