Ideal for anyone painting in oils, who would like to practice within a studio setting and learn from live demonstrations. Topics will include painting from outdoor sketches, creating compositions, and the pitfalls of reference photography. Demonstrations will focus on how to use the building blocks of shapes, values, edges, and colors to improve your landscape paintings.
