Oahu Workshop
The Dynamics of Light-Filled Landscape Painting: Seeing Light and Color

Patch of YellowCapturing the beauty of a landscape lies primarily in the ability to portray the light relationships one sees. Each student learns to fine tune their powers of observation and develops their own artistic style based on an understanding of fundamental principles. This course will cover the basic principles of light, how to determine the color of light, and how to create the movement of light on the canvas. We will begin with an introduction to color mixing, how to apply color and value to light relationships, and how to develop form and perspective in the landscape through the use of light and color. The components of composition, developing depth, aerial perspective, light and shade, and form in the landscape will also be covered as well as discussions of tools and trade.

Fee: $350.00
Levels: All levels. Limited to 10 participants. Hours: 9-4




" ...My first class in oils was with Julie. Her class was everything I expected an art class to be. Julie is professional, knowledgeable and encouraging. She teaches classical principles and not just a style or technique. Some artists can paint, some can teach, but Julie does both beautifully."

- Evelyn King DDS, Albuquerque, New Mexico
