Description
This course is about exploring the landscape using larger brushes to eliminate small details.By doing this, your compostions begin to be looser and more abstract! I will guide you to think shape and less detail. We will learn how to create a new colour palette that you can do over and over and always get new colour combinations. We will also look at making your own blacks. Included will be demos on complementary colours, warm & cool colours and values. The end of this video will be a 30 minutes demonstration video of myself working on a large format. I think this a perfect class for people who are tired of doing detail and need to loosen up! Your landscapes will become more abstract, with a richness and an explosion of colour!
Who this course is for:
- Students who would like to know how to work with larger brushes to create shapes and less detail. Landscapes become more abstract and simplified.
- Students who want to ‘’loosen up’’ and also want to learn about colour mixing to create paintings that ‘’pop’’ !
- Students who are open to new challenges and want to abstract their scenes more!
