Oil Painting: Land, Sea, Sky with Elizabeth Congdon
ALL LEVELS WELCOME. The vivid and muted hues of nature will be this class’s inspiration for taking a deep dive into color mixing. Photo references will serve as departure points for our mindseye, but we will make these images impactful by learning to use our memories and imaginations by exploring the nuances of color’s value and hue. Exercises in color mixing will help advance our skills for landscape painting, while training the eye to find specific and surprising colors that read with an authentic, personal voice.
ELIZABETH CONGDON is a painterly realist who earned her BA in Art at the University of California at Santa Cruz, and studied classical realism in Florence at Studio Cecil-Graves.
