This workshop will empower you with successful strategies for loosening up your work with bold marks and fresh colour. Learn to simplify complex scenes into clear shapes, values, and edges. Organize these shapes into strong design and colour combinations using bold, expressive marks to interpret your environment for that lush painterly look. Learn innovative approaches to colour through the use of underpainting techniques and interpretive colour strategies that will break you out of your routine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1735\/1271\/files\/011119_0004-web_grande.jpg?v=1558370027\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery morning, Alain will teach and demonstrate a painterly approach to the landscape, sharing warm up activation exercises, unique painterly methods each day, and creating loose full colour paintings in pastel.  Students will then respond to the lesson, beginning with morning exercises to loosen up their work and learn techniques to simplify the subject.
