Laura Lewis Oil Landscape Workshop
Painting by Laura Lewis
April 13-14
Join Laura Lewis for this Landscape Painting Workshop for all levels. Laura will make slide presentations about strategies for successful composition and demonstrate how to select and deselect imagery to strengthen a design. She is particularly interested in creating spatial depth in the landscape, so she will focus on this aspect of her work as well as emphasizing the light source in design. Generous paint application with expressive brush strokes is another area of interest. There will be several brief demonstrations. The students may choose to make a painting similar to the demonstration or work from their own source material or other photo references Laura will bring. Laura will give individual instruction and give critiques to those who are interested.
