Landscape Drawing & Painting (All Levels)

About this course

The workshop examines how landscapes can be observed, interpreted and developed into finished drawings and paintings. Participants use sketchbooks to study essential landscape elements, test compositional strategies and explore the effects of different media. Teaching combines discussion of artists’ approaches with practical development from initial studies to completed work. When weather allows, the group works outdoors on direct sketches and gathers photographic references for further studio work.
