The fundamentals of landscape painting-on-site with acrylic paints will be the focus of this five-day workshop. The group will work at a different location in the historical town of Lunenburg each day, including seascape views and the waterside architecture. In-depth demonstrations will cover subjects such as composition, perspective, colour mixing, brush work and portraying daylight. Exercises will provide a range of challenge to choose from so that individuals can work comfortably within their own skill level while expanding their abilities to create on location. Two- or three day workshops within this session are available upon request. Tuition will be adjusted accordingly. Enrolment is limited to 10 students.
