One of my students will be teaching an event in California this April and then hopefully coming to study with me. Plein Air Painters take note: Capturing the beauty of a landscape lies primarily in the ability to portray the light relationships one sees. Each student learns to fine-tune their powers of observation and develops their own artistic style based on an understanding of fundamental principles.This course will cover the basic principles of light, how to determine the color of light, and how to create the movement of light on the canvas. We will begin with an introductions to color mixing, how to apply color and value to light relationships, and how to develop form and perspective in the landscape through the use of light and color. The components of composition, developing depth, aerial perspective, light and shade, and form in the landscape will also be covered as well as discussions of tools of the trade. _______________________________________________________Classically, trained, Julie has been teaching art for 17years.
