Overview:

We will start by selecting, simplifying, and sketching a well-designed scene, followed by an expressive acrylic painting technique. Each part of the process will be demonstrated and explained by the instructor. Over the two days, we will repeat this process several times, resulting in a mini collection of loose, textured, and colourful landscape paintings.

Objectives:

– Quickly establish interesting, dynamic compositions in the field

– Apply an expressive mark-making process with acrylic paint

– Take a step-by-step approach in establishing values and colours
