Introduction to Impressionistic Landscape Painting

Class dates/times: August 18 - August 19th; 11am - 4pm daily (45 minute lunch break daily)

Location: 6 Wonson Street, Gloucester, MA (Cultural Center on Rocky Neck Art Colony)

There is a sweet spot of overlap between the realm of abstraction and realism where expressionist mark making creates the essence of the landscape. This workshop will help you uncover new methodologies to bring expression, and a touch of abstraction, to your landscape paintings. Here you will discover how mark-making can create color and light, and convey the essence of the subject matter without extraneous details.

Instructor Amanda Hawkins takes an approach to abstraction is both structured and intuitive, meant to give attendees the tools and confidence to take risks and make informed decisions on the canvas, both in the workshop and long after the class. Each morning the workshop will open with warm-up exercises, and each afternoon will be used as open studio time with ample individual attention.

All artists can expect to leave the workshop with preparatory drawings, a small series of abstract landscape paintings, and 1-2 expressionistic landscape paintings.
