Landscape Painting: Creating the Illusion of Depth
Instructor: Larry Bovits
In these three Saturday classes, learn to create depth by focusing on aerial perspective, specific light types, and color manipulation. Class discussion and instructional handouts will explain the fundamentals of light, color, and ways to use these elements in combination with aerial perspective cutes. This class is for intermediate and advanced painters working with oil, acrylic, watercolor, or pastel. You will be working for your own 8" x 10" reference photos and will be asked to do underpainting preparation beforehand at home and then continue to develop the painting to specifically practice creating the illusion of depth under the guidance of the instructor. Materials are not provided. Use your current supplies. Project guidelines to prepare the underpainting before the first class will be provided by the instructor. Numerous instructional handouts will reinforce what is taught in class.
