Landscape & Color

REGISTRATION PAGE: https://www.dandelionspringfarm.com/shop/p/taco-nights-at-the-hive-3m2cr-t9bf3

WHEN: July 12, 2025

WHERE: Dandelion nSpring Farm, Bowdoinham, Maine

COST: $150 (farm to table catered lunch included!)

Landscape & Color explores abstraction, color and mark through the lens of landscape painting. This workshop will briefly look at the traditional elements and principles of landscape painting, and use these tools to inform and create compelling abstract work of art. This workshop is designed to provide the structure necessary to enter an abstract painting language with intention and ease, while still providing space for freedom and intuition. Landscape & Color is designed to help the artist better understand composition, value, color, and most importantly, how to become a looser and more expressive painter. 

What to expect: The morning will be spent exploring a few sequential exercises both onsite and in the studio and the afternoon will be painting plein air, outside. Amanda will demonstrate all exercises before artists embark on their own work. Artists will leave the class with preparatory composition and value studies and a miniature series of abstract landscape paintings on archival paper.
