Virtual Program: Abstract Landscape Painting with Amanda Hawkins

This workshop explores abstraction, color and mark through the lens of landscape painting. A series of sequential exercises will help students identify the relationship between value and hue, build non-conventional palettes, loosen up, and abandon the local colors of the landscape. This workshop is meant to provide access to the vocabulary of abstraction for all-level artists. Attendees can expect to complete several color studies on paper, a value sketch and other preparatory work during this session.
