Gouache Landscape: Trees and Vegetation
Class | FULL
In this gouache landscape class, students will learn how to approach painting trees and vegetation. Robert will provide demonstrations each week, and students will paint the same image. The class will focus on a straightforward process ideal for quick studies and plein air painting. A key component of the class will be learning how to "cut and carve" shapes to create appealing and natural-looking vegetation. Students will also explore the process for painting different types of trees. All work will be done in the classroom using gouache on illustration board.
