VISUAL ARTS Landscape Painting In this course, students will learn how to create artistic representations of natural environments such as mountains, forests, waters, fields, coastlines and sunsets. Landscape painting can be created using a variety of water-based medium: acrylic, watercolour and gouache. Although the realistic representation of the natural world will be the main approach, exploring landscape through illusion is not excluded. The course will cover all that is needed to create expressive and dynamic paintings: basic techniques, colour mixing, tonal values, elements of composition, effects of atmospheric perspective, the ways to simplify the shapes and forms, and effective editing of photographic references. Throughout the course, there will be plenty of short demos, usually at the beginning of the class. The course is intended for beginners and intermediates. Just bring your supplies, your passion for painting, and whatever experience you have and you will grow as an artist through expanding your observational and artistic skills.
