FORESTS & MEADOWS with Leah Kohlenberg
Do you find yourself overwhelmed when looking at a landscape scene, wondering where to start, how to describe details close up and far away, and how to use your brush? This series is designed for students of all levels to learn the basics of painting forests, meadows, and other landscapes. You can then use these basics to create rich and layered nature paintings, either plein air or in your studio. This class will cover color mixing, brush work, perspective issues, block-ins, and detail work. The instructor will demo, and then you’ll work on your own paintings.
These techniques are specific to acrylic and oil painting. You may choose to work in either. If you are a beginner, Leah highly recommends you work with acrylics, as that is the medium she will use in demos.
