Mitchell Albala
Landscape Painting: Ongoing Mentorship and Special Topics. Level: Intermediate to Advanced oil and pastel painters.
After a hiatus of over a year, this special group returns, geared specifically for landscape painters. This 6-week series is designed to help you build strong foundations in landscape painting. In a warm and supportive environment, you’ll enjoy weekly critiques, demonstrations, 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 notan, the theory of color grouping, color mixing, limited palettes, the proper way to reference photos. Group and/or individual exercises may be given on an as-needed basis. Open to oil and pastel painters. Class size is limited to 10, to ensure lots of one-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. *Please email Mitch to register* https://mitchalbala.com/workshops/#umbrella mitch@mitchalbala.com Author of The Landscape Painters Workbook (available Jan 2022 - Preorder now) and Landscape Painting: Essential Concepts and Techniques for Plein Air and Studio Practice Subscribe to my award-winning blog and find me at mitchalbala.com, Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram |

Steve Whitney
"This class is suitable for intermediate level painters in oils, acrylic, or gouache who are serious about their art and for experienced watercolor or pastel painters who are interested in trying new media. The focus is on landscapes, but portraits and still life paintings are acceptable. Classes include lectures, demonstrations, exercises, critiques, and time to pursue the artist's own projects. Steve's easy going humor and generous sharing make for a great classroom experience. steverwhitney@gmail.com stevewhitney.com
