Mini-Workshops – See The Light
Are you a beginner or intermediate artist who who wants to discover new horizons? Would you like a better understanding of how to create an impression of distance and scale in your work?
This class aims to introduce you to the fundamentals of perspective drawing as an aid to planning and painting more convincing landscapes and cityscapes. We’ll cover how to establish composition, proportions, horizons, eye level and vanishing points. We’ll also explore the power of aerial perspective and how colour choice can be used to focus the eye on important elements. With these foundations established, we’ll break free of the theory and discover a freedom beyond. Dates & bookings
