Two Parts

Anette will be working in oils, but students are welcome to use either oils or acrylics.

Learn more about painting on location and interpreting a place. Discover strategies to help you simplify complexity, draw with accuracy and see shapes and values. Answer the question: How much information do we need to make something read and still stay loose and fresh?

On Friday afternoon, we will do some exercises on massing and using values to simplify and make a strong design before painting in the harbor. On Sunday we will paint all day with plenty of time for individual attention.

For beginning to intermediate artists working in oils or acrylics.

NOTE: Signing up for one session will sign you up for the other. There is no discount for attending one session. Must sign up for both.
