Take the intimidation out of painting rocks. Join Maine painter Liz Prescott in a two-week exploration of the process Liz uses to create her rocky seascapes, simplifying complex scenes, adding linear elements and a little spark of color. Through weekly demos Liz will focus specifically on subtle color mixing and paint application to allow for areas of sharp contrast between hard rock edges and softer blended passages. In addition, discussions on
composition, simplification of complex shapes and a careful study of value relationships will enable each participant to expand the scope of their dynamic seascapes.
Open to acrylic, oil and gouache. All levels welcome. Liz will demo in acrylics.

“Excellent Class. Learned so much! Liz is a wonderful teacher, positive, encouraging, but with honest feedback, and a delightful sense of humor. She gave the class many insights as well as personal stories about her journey as artist. She offered specific suggestions on how to tweak our paintings, while emphasizing exploration, process, and play. Also ideas and tips on what to do when you get frustrated or need to re-set. Liz created a supportive classroom network, where beginners and seasoned artists felt safe sharing their works on the message board.” — Wendy, ME
