This workshop will concentrate on design, shapes and values, and will use a limited palette of just three colors: lemon yellow, cadmium red medium and ultramarine blue, plus white.
On Thursday morning, Oct. 27 Carson will do a demonstration and then circulate between easels as needed. There will be a different outdoor venue each day.
Students are urged to read Chapter 3, titled “Angles and Consequent Values” of John F. Carlson’s “Guide to Landscape Painting,” prior to the workshop.
There will be an emphasis on applying the paint quickly and confidently and critiques will be held at the end of each day.There is a fee for the class and includes lunch.
Students will receive a materials list after registration.
