Painting a forest path scene, aglow in warm light.

The emphasis in this class will be three fold:

Mixing colors: Going over basic colour theory, learning about mixing complex, rich colours.
Learning and practicing how to mix colours “ on the fly” with impasto knifework on our actual paintings.
Combining the two above mentioned techniques on our paintings.

Day one: will be spent going over colour theory, painting background and adding the first layer to our fallen leaves.

Day two: We paint in our trees and spend time filling out our compositions.

Day three: We will work on completing our painting by working on details through brush work and knife work refining our leaves and adding lighting.

Additionally, I'd like to do a peer group discussion. Participants will then have time to implement suggestions.
