Description

Trees are a beautiful and essential focus of many landscape paintings, but can be challenging to draw and paint. This 3-week class focuses on the basics of drawing and painting trees, and how to place them in a pleasing composition with an understanding of light and shadows. Instruction includes perspective techniques for drawing deciduous and coniferous trees, including distant masses of trees, trees in the foreground, and the depiction of tree trunks, branches, and leaves throughout the seasons. In the spirit of the holidays, the course includes the option to create a painting or card featuring snow-covered pines or any tree that captures the beauty of the changing seasons. The class includes demonstrations in both oil and watercolor, along with personalized guidance for each student. 3-week series Tuesdays, 9am – 12pm December 2 – December 16 Members $144 / Nonmembers $168
