Finding the Light in Landscapes

Overview

In this guided landscape painting class, participants will work  to create a beautiful woodland scene featuring sunlight filtering through the trees. Participants will explore techniques for creating light, depth, colour, and atmosphere within a landscape. Special attention will be given to capturing the way sunlight interacts with the trees and surrounding environment, while considering composition and visual elements that make a painting engaging and appealing to the viewer.
