Mitchell Albala
Landscape Painting: Ongoing Mentorship and Special Topics. Level: Intermediate to Advanced. 

This class is designed to help you build strong foundations in landscape painting. In a warm and supportive environment, you’ll enjoy weekly critiques, demonstrations, exercises, and work on your own projects. You’ll learn about each of the three core practices of landscape painting: simplification and massing, composition, and color strategies. Other special topics that Mitchell covers include the theory of color grouping, color mixing, limited palettes, the proper way to reference photos, and for oil painters, working wet-into-wet. Group and/or individual exercises are given weekly on an as-needed basis. Class size is limited to 10, to ensure lots of on-on-one time with instructor Mitch.

This class is not for first time painters (those who have never painted or mixed colors at all), but is ideally suited to those with previous experience who now want to explore the essentials of landscape or build a foundation for plein air work.
