In this one-day workshop, you'll learn how to use color for emotional impact and scenic clarity in your landscape paintings. We'll see how color works in realistic and expressive landscapes throughout art history and apply those lessons to our paintings. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced artist, this workshop will allow you to slow down and explore color from a new angle. We will discuss how color is used to create depth, atmosphere, and mood in a painting and how the color of the sky disperses throughout a landscape, unifying and harmonizing everything you see. Students are welcome to work in oil, acrylic, or gouache.
