Painting Brilliant Skies & Water in Pastel
The sky is the most emotional aspect of any landscape painting. It sets the mood, time of day and the attitude of the painting. In this studio (indoor) workshop with internationally acclaimed artist, instructor, and author Liz Haywood-Sullivan, we will explore how to capture the character of the sky, from sunny and bright to moody with precipitation, from early day to brilliant evening. Work on techniques for clear skies and creating believable clouds.
We will also explore the intricacies of painting water and reflections in pastel. We will use underpainting to assist the development of the layers of transparency found in water. Topics to be covered include depicting reflections, how water behaves when calm and when moving, water in the dramatic seascape, how to use aerial perspective principles in water to create distance, seeing and painting correct values, plus much more.
Each day will start with a demonstration and there will be plenty of daily individual instruction at your easel.
