The Beauty of the Skyscape
Workshop | Available
Billowing clouds come in countless shapes, sizes, and colors. Participants in this workshop will work from photographs with low horizons giving a focus on how to handle different skies, including sunsets and stormy scenes. Linda will provide photographs, but students are encouraged to bring photos of skies that they would like to paint. Students will learn to create a feeling of the scene that gives the painting life, going beyond just copying a photograph. Special attention to values, composition and edges will be discussed along with several examples of clouds in progress. This workshop will include instructor demonstrations, and visual teaching boards. https://lindaglovergooch.com/blog/
