Multi-Session Class
Meets 4 Fridays July 11-August 1 from 2:30-5:30pmIN PERSON CLASS
Ylli Haruni’s goal in teaching landscape in this class is to make your Plein Air painting experience more fun and less frustration, more confident and in command of your work from start to completion.
He’ll teach the fundamentals of structuring a landscape with all its elements. Reference photos taken by Ylli on his traveling and painting tours will be provided- a new subject for each session. There will be a painting demo in each session.
All levels are welcome!
You will learn how to:
*Select and choose what is important, what is that special thing that made you to stop and paint it.
*Include strong element in your landscape and leave a lot of details out
*Use your imagination and rearrange the elements for a better, more appealing, composition.
*Use color values to make the background recede and advance the foreground.
*Paint fewer details in background and more details in for ground for making the landscape more atmospheric.
*learn to use limited palette for being more practical when painting outdoors.
*Have fun while painting, it shows in your work!
