Abstracting the Landscape in Acrylics

Course Code: ARTS1668

Learn to simplify a scene to create an abstract landscape on canvas. The emphasis will be on a free and expressive approach, taking inspiration from the abstract landscapes of contemporary artists. You may work from photos, sketches, or your imagination. Learn to work in layers, using colour and a variety of acrylic mediums to create vibrant, textured underpaintings. These will be overlaid with layers of opaque colour and transparent glazes to bring your abstract landscapes to life. Instruction, suitable for beginners or experienced painters, will include daily demonstrations and lots of individual attention.
