Oil Painting Workshop
Dates: 10/25/2023 – 10/27/2023
Instructor: Cecy Turner
Subject: Landscape
Medium: Oil
Location: Rockport, TX
Description: In this workshop we will be working every day on simplifying a landscape into its major shapes before we begin the painting. We will focus on seeing the landscape we’re going to paint in only two or three values by doing a small 4×6 sketch with water soluble value pencils in light, medium and dark values before we begin. Our goal will be to have them fit together as large abstract shapes or “puzzle pieces.”
