WHEN: 1-day workshop / Saturday, November 7 9 AM - 4 PM, with a 1-hour break for lunch
AGES: Adults, 18+
DESCRIPTION: Join artist Mark Vander Vinne for a day long workshop exploring the fundamental decisions behind every successful landscape painting. Great landscapes begin long before the first brushstroke, and this workshop will help you build the skills to transform a beautiful scene into a compelling work of art. Mark will cover essential landscape painting principles, from planning and simplifying complex scenes to making stronger compositional decisions. We'll also explore color harmony and mixing, showing how thoughtful color choices can bring unity and expression to your work, making it both believable and expressive. Through practical examples and guided painting time, you'll leave with a clearer understanding of these fundamental concepts and practical ideas to apply to your own work.
SKILL LEVEL: Intermediate + Above
LOCATION: Vinay and Suman Das Foundation 2d Studio across the street at 116
TUITION: $95 or non-members / $85.50 for current CAC members, enter code CACMEMBER at checkout to receive 10%-member discount
SUPPLIES: Students are expected to bring the following supplies:
Mark will demo in oil, but all mediums are welcome. Please adjust the supply list to reflect your chosen medium.
• Notebook and/or sketchbook for notes, doodles, and thumbnails.
• A variety of brushes, sizes 4-10.
• A portable palette for mixing paint on.
• A metal palette knife (a must for mixing).
• Artist-grade odorless mineral spirits (OMS such as Gamsol) & a metal or glass container with lid. (Please, no Turpentine or hardware store grade OMS.)
• 4-6 small panels. 5x7, 6x8, 8x10 or 9x12 are good sizes. Nothing larger than 9x12. You can take a larger canvas/panel such as a 12” x 16” and divide it into half or quadrants with artist tape to create multiple painting sections on one board. We will use 1-2 paintings a day.
• Paints: A limited palette of primary colors is mandatory. If it’s within your budget, I would also recommend bringing a full palette of color (one warm and one cool of each primary color).
• Limited Palette: Cadmium Yellow Lemon, Napthol Red, Ultramarine Blue, Titanium White or Titanium-Zinc White, Transparent Earth Red
• Optional Colors to create a split-complementary palette or full palette: Cad. Yellow Deep, Cerulean or Prussian Blue, Phthalo Turquoise, Rose Madder, or other colors you like.
