Supply List

Do you struggle with creating a distinctive and confident composition with your landscape that then allows you to take off and use liberated stroke and color?

This four-session workshop will focus on one image per week, and we will work together to create a strong background to your landscapes, simplifying passages and shapes so that you can stay out of unnecessary details that deplete the impact of your paintings.

Amy will demonstrate a painting each week, using landscape images from southern Maine.  Participants will select images of their own, based on instruction on creating an appealing image from your phone/camera and turning into a dynamic painting.   Feedback will be offered for each assignment via the private page. Demos will be conducted in oil, but participants can use oil or acrylic for painting.

• Week 1: Finding the major anchors in a landscape and creating images that will be alluring to paint
• Week 2: Blocking in
• Week 3: Harnessing Light
• Week 4: Color and Energy
