Saturday, Sept. 21 – Less is More: Finding Fewer Shapes in the Landscape

In this class with Brenda Coldwell, we will paint small studies with three to seven shapes. This is an exercise in simplifying the number of shapes within your painting to make it a more impactful piece. I’ve been experimenting with limiting the number of shapes, looking out my studio window. In the afternoon, we will take one of your earlier studies and play with changing some of those shape values. We will paint outside at On Track Studios. Please bring your lunch. I’ll have tea, water, coffee.
