Participants will use a journal and a limited pallet of fourteen paints, with only a few brushes, learn how to capture manageable subjects such as landscapes, southwest gates, ristras, entryways, or beautiful adobe buildings. Participants will also create notes on color mixes, location, time of day and the information of the subject just painted. This allows individuals to travel and create, come back to the studio and complete a finished piece. Or just finish up your journal for your own enjoyment.
This class will cover, color theory, value study and one-point and two-point perspective. This class is for beginners to intermediate, even if you haven’t painted before you will really enjoy this class.
