The purpose of this class is multi-fold: to paint from the landscape as a means of investigating exterior space, color and light; to incorporate into these paintings your comprehensive understanding of art historical styles; and to develop a contemporaneous manner in utilizing the landscape motif within your own work. In the first case, you should develop an understanding and appreciation of space, light, color and tone by painting the landscape from life and becoming fluent in recording natural phenomena through observation. Secondly, by looking at paintings and reading about them, you can utilize ideas behind them that can inform your own work.  Bring a lunch!   In case of rain, participants will be directed to an alternate site.  Feel free to bring the supplies you usually work with, or use the suggested supply list below if you wish.  For additional information, call Julie Zabkar at 330-741-9362
