Painting Autumn Landscapes with Barbara Davis
Join Montgomery-based artist Barbara Davis for "Painting Autumn Landscapes". The landscape in the fall can be vibrant and this class will focus on capturing the beauty while controlling the color. Using photo references as a starting point, we will paint the autumn landscape in oils in an impressionistic style while focusing on color, value, and expressive brushwork. Students will leave the workshop with one completed or very developed painting. Barbara will demonstrate painting techniques, as well as offer one-on-one guidance. This workshop is appropriate for beginner artists. Lunch is provided.
Level 1: Beginner
This class is appropriate for beginner to advanced painters. Covers the basic techniques of the medium and offers individual assistance. No prior experience is required.
Supply List
- CANVAS: I prefer oil-primed linen like Fredrix Oil Primed Linen Panels but bring whatever you like to paint on. If you want to paint a larger canvas (no larger than 16x20), one will be fine. If you paint smaller paintings, you may be able to complete a couple during class (around 8x10, 10x10, 9x12, 12x12, 11x14). Also, please have a small (8x10) inexpensive canvas just to use for exercises.
- PAINTS: I prefer Gamblin, Rembrandt and Williamsburg paints, primarily Gamblin.
- Titanium White
- Yellow Ochre
- Cadmium Yellow Lemon or Light
- Cadmium Yellow Medium
- Ultramarine Blue
- Cerulean Blue or King’s Blue (I like King’s Blue)
- Cadmium Red Light
- Alizarin Crimson
- Persian Rose (Williamsburg)* not required, but a good color
- Permanent Rose*not required, but a good color
- Sap Green
- Transparent Red Oxide or Transparent Red Earth
- Raw Umber
BRUSHES: I like Silver Bristlon flats and rounds in a variety of sizes. If you want to paint smaller canvases, have a few small-medium brushes. Medium-large brushes for larger canvas.
Also:
- ODORLESS mineral spirits such as Turpenoid or Gamsol & container for it
- Sketchbook/paper/pencils (just something to work out compositions and ideas on paper)
- Paper Towels
- Plastic grocery bag for trash
- Apron
- Palette knife
- Palette
