Description: Join Canadian contemporary landscape artist Theresa Williams for a relaxed and informative landscape workshop, open to all skill levels. Whether you’re new to painting or looking to simplify your current practice, this 2.5-hour indoor session will help you feel more confident and prepared.
Held in our historical Schoolhouse Art Studio, this workshop will cover the essentials of landscape painting. You’ll learn helpful tips, try a few basic exercises, and leave with small sample paintings and colour examples for future reference. You will explore 3 colours plus white and learn how a limited palette can save you time and money without sacrificing creative colour and harmony. Everything you learn can be used inside your studio or outside on location.
