LANDSCAPE PAINTING WORKSHOP
The Blue Mountain School of Landscape Painting course has been five days of intensive painting in the Blue Mountain region in Ontario, Canada. (June 29-July 3).
Eighteen students and artists working in the versatile acrylic medium spent five full days painting scenes at private gardens overlooking the rolling hills above the Georgian Bay, in and around the villages of Meaford, Thornbury, Clarksburg, Redwing, and Craigleith. Our painting subjects were the long views and close-ups of harbours, rolling farmland, old barns, intimate, lush gardens, and century old barns.
I designed a course that would introduce and de-mystify colour theory applications to colour mixing to achieve the look of the season. Composition and design elements were covered through daily demonstrations and critiques. Techniques for painting with a variety of brushes as well as palette knife were introduced and for many students, it was the first time they had painted with a palette knife. The results were loose and bold--very exciting!
