Paint with me in Portugal
Join me as we concentrate on creating compelling paintings using innovative techniques, experimenting with color, and interpreting the landscape through shape and pattern. Learn how to simplify the vast natural beauty of Portugal and find the perfect subjects to paint or draw. This workshop is designed for beginners as well as advanced students, and the methods can be applied to both representational and/or abstract landscape drawings and/or paintings, using soft pastel or water-mixable oil.
The week-long workshop will be a combination of outdoor sketching and painting, studio time and excursions to visit the area.
Lynn will be demonstrating with sketches and pastel, but students may use water-mixable oil if they wish. Students will learn at least three ways to start a painting, new methods to improve compositions, and feel more confident altering what you see to enhance your art – all in an amazing setting!
