    Description

    In this workshop Mark will cover the nuts and bolts of what makes good art, and show you how to utilize these principles in your own landscape paintings. You will learn how to use shape, light, value and color to create both strong compositions and mood within your work. Working with small studies using your own photo references, you will put these principles into practice with each day’s exercise building upon the previous one. Mark creates a fun, engaging, and informative environment for the student to be inspired and to challenge themselves and understand what is needed to get to the next level in their art. 

    Topics to be covered include:

    • Designing with shape and value

    • Capturing and leading the viewer’s eye

    • Creating impact with color

    • Understanding the 5 types of light

    • Creating mood with light, value and color.
