Landscape/Plein Air Painting with Sam Morrow – Wednesdays 10am-1pm
Sam Morrow Archive: Adult
Experiment with different styles of landscape painting, including traditional, representational or abstract. Students are welcome to explore these various styles or paint in their preferred style. Sam will go through all basic processes from under painting, through body painting, glazing, scumbling, wet into wet, wet onto dry, transparency and opacity, to name a few. The aim is to bring out the uniqueness in the student and all levels are welcome from absolute beginner to advanced. This class is for both oil and acrylic painters.
