Architecture in the Landscape Part 2 In Studio w/ C. Rilling

Architecture in the Landscape Workshop PART 2- ONSITE

Saturday and Sunday April 17^th and 18th

In Part 2 of “Architecture in the Landscape” (ONSITE) we will continue with the idea of simplifying and editing details. Each student will work from their own references, and be given feedback how to crop and compose from these. We will continue to study formal aspects of painting- composition, value, edges, marks, and color. More complex cityscapes will be addressed- how to simplify them, how to block in a more complex motif.

Medium: oil paint, acrylic, pastel, watercolor (Instructor works in oil paint).

Level: Intermediate, and advanced. Previous painting experience required; Basic painting skills will not be covered in this class.

Materials:

• Photographs of cityscapes or of complex landscape with architectural motifs, (best if these references have clear directional light. Not flat light)
