Thinking as a contemporary artist, we look for ways to vivify color in landscape. Motion, lighting, backlighting, haze; our composition can have a slight unbalance for interest. Skills focus: multiple brush skills, color relationships, layering effects. With one brush we draw and with others we sweep and curve, and with our long handled drawing brush again we re-draw. Layers create history and richness in paint.

  • Materials: Bring medium paper or canvases 16x20 or bigger, brushes, paints, photos to choose from or images can be supplied as well. Professor experience is in watercolor, acrylic, oils, collage.
