Registrants will be sent the invitation to the weekly meetings with the link and password. It is your responsibility to save these emails with the information!
Week One – I will provide a complete overview of the materials and supplies, demonstrations on how each is used, and demonstration of the techniques and tips for the week one assignment. Focus on the materials and techniques. Handouts will be emailed after the meeting.
Week Two – This week will be more about color and how to use it effectively. This week the theme is abstract florals and landscapes.
Week Three – Focus this week is about refining and detailing effects in the landscape painting started in week two.
Week Four – Simple still life painting. Image supplied. Begin planning for final assignment.
Week Five – Final assignment and subject choice of landscape, still life, or botanical subject matter.
The reference image you are going to use will be posted in week one.
The important thing to remember is that this is a journey you have chosen to undertake that will require not only practice, but some discipline and positive thinking! Rome wasn’t built in a day; I did not achieve my skill level overnight! It boils down simply to your desire to learn, and your willingness to practice and allow yourself the time for discovery! Each of the assignments in the course are planned to help you slowly build your skill level, increase your observation skills, and most importantly your confidence.
