In this 2-hour class we’ll talk about the rule of 3 and how a fixed light source determines shine, shade & shadows. We’ll paint the point farthest point in the background, the sky, with its various colors, & work forward. In the painting I’ve chosen, the sky meets a horizon of distant ocean & rolls toward a sandy beach. We’ll add some rocks, a Monterey Cypress & some birds. Everything for this class will be provided, but students must be advised that acrylic paints are not easily removed from clothing, so maybe wear old clothes or bring smocks?
