Farley Lewis, a nationally known artist, enjoys capturing the interaction of mankind and nature - the hard edges of architecture against the organic shapes of nature. He sets out not to paint the objects in front of him, but the light illuminating. This workshop will focus on color mixing, strong block-in, brushwork, edges and final stages. It will show how Farley approaches light, nature and architecture. The live demonstration will provide a syllabus, time for questions and 30-day replay access of the Zoom demonstration.
