C2510F: J. Hall Impressionist Landscape
Skill Level: Beginner & Intermediate painters
Jane paints her beautifully loose, impressionistic paintings using bright colours on black canvas while providing step-by-step instruction. Her students just love her teaching style. Both oil and acrylic painters are welcome.
We will sketch with a small brush the outlines of the subject of the painting in orange. Then will apply opaque layers of paint in various brush stroke directions and sizes, starting with white and then working to other light and mid values leaving areas black that are to be a dark or mid-dark in tone. The painting is evaluated to see how the patterns of light, middle and dark relate. If all is working then the dark values are applied. Finishing details can then be done. Personal style will be encouraged.
