Landscapes: Creating Mood with Abstraction & Color !

Description

This course is about exploring the landscape using larger brushes to eliminate small details.By doing this, your compostions begin to be looser and more abstract! I will guide you to  think shape and less detail. We will learn how to create a new colour palette that you can do over and over and always get new colour combinations. We will also look at making your own blacks. Included will be demos on complementary colours, warm & cool colours and values. The end of this video will be a 30 minutes demonstration  video of myself working  on a large format. I think this a perfect class for people who are tired of doing detail and need to loosen up! Your landscapes will become more abstract, with a richness and an explosion of colour!
