Description
This intermediate painting class is designed for students who have a foundational knowledge of painting landscapes in acrylic and/or have taken Cole’s previous landscape class. We will be building on the principles learned in the beginner class, this course will delve deeper into techniques, composition, and the creative process. Students will explore more complex concepts and refine their ability to create dynamic and compelling landscape paintings. Emphasis will be placed on developing a personal style and experimenting with various approaches to landscape painting.
The classroom will open for arrival at 5:45 pm.
The class will be broken up into parts including focusing on composition, thumbnail/value studies, careful study and analysis, painting palette, and of course painting! We will look at examples of paintings in class and learn from historical examples. We will also focus on setting up an environment and methodology to painting that will ensure success and build confidence while also improving your speed of painting.
About the instructor: Cole is a painter and visual artist based in Portland Oregon. Nature is the biggest influence in Cole’s art especially now that natural disasters are ever increasing with climate change. Making observations, interpretations, and communicating the forms of nature that he thinks should be preserved and cherished is his goal. He wants to create excitement about preservation through visual interest by bringing the feelings and emotions associated in nature. Cole studied illustration at the Academy of Art in San Francisco and has a Bachelors of Arts in Art History from Portland State University.
