Learn to break landscapes down into simple shapes to add visual depth and drama


More details

This workshop will focus on simplifying landscape images by breaking them down into simple shapes.

This workshop will help you find ways of adding depth and visual drama to your landscape paintings and drawings. The demos will be conducted with acrylic paint, but you can work in any colour medium such as watercolour, gouache, pastels or coloured pencils. (Oil paint is not recommended due to the slow drying time). Suitable for all levels. See supply list. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 10AM - 4:30PM(PCT) IN-PERSON
