Landscape Oil Painting
Fridays 10:00-12:30 pm April 6, 13, 20 (no class 27th), May 4, 11, 18, 25 CLASS FULL - Sign up for Michael's Summer workshop instead! Instructor: Michael Reibel Michael@thestudioschoolsavannah.com In this 7 part course, students will learn how paint the landscape in oil in the studio. A studio environment provides an opportunity for the artist to approach a landscape painting differently than when painting in the field. Working from reference material including photographs and field studies, students will learn how to use reference material to create an oil painting that begins with a strong composition and ultimately creates a sense of light, emotion and drama. We will work through design and composition, value and color studies, and the use of a monochromatic underpainting ultimately leading up to the finished studio painting. We will also discuss the strengths and limitations of photography when painting the landscape in the studio as well as the use of photo editing software. Depending on the skill level of the student and desire for working outside of class, more than one studio painting may be completed over the 7 weeks. Week 1 – Reference Sources/Design and composition/ Week 2 – Notan, value and color studies in oil / Week 3 – Monochromatic underpainting / Week 4 – Blocking in the large masses with color / Week 5 and Week 6 – Adding detail / Week 7 – Finish and critique Pay via PayPal below. Checks may be mailed to us before 1st day of class. Registration required for all students.
