LANDSCAPE PAINTINGS

Students delve into the rich history of artists finding inspiration in the outdoors

• As a class, we venture outside to observe and sketch our surroundings, connecting with the tradition of deriving creativity from the natural world

• Utilizing "viewfinders" made from cardboard squares, artists refine their chosen scenes for painting, capturing reference photographs to guide their work

• Upon transferring their sketches to canvas, artists learn and engage with the concept of underpainting, applying shades of blue and green to establish the foundational tones for their landscape paintings

• Artists bring their landscapes to life in their final versions, employing acrylic paint to add depth, color, and detail to their outdoor-inspired masterpieces
