Landscape Painting: Problem Solving and Critique Pat Kelly Saturday, 9 a.m.–1 p.m. November 1 (1 day, 4 total hours of instruction) La Jolla Studio $100/$120 This discussion-only workshop will help students improve their landscape painting by learning how to solve problems and critique their own work. For more experienced painters, it is an opportunity for discussion and a springboard for developing a personal style. We will look at student landscape paintings two ways: - Virtual: Students submit a digital image of one of their landscape paintings before the workshop. - Real Time: Students also bring the painting to the workshop for critique. You will have an opportunity to ask questions about your work and learn how to self-critique. Pat will critique with live digital examples using submitted images. The digital format is especially valuable for demonstrating corrections, visualizing suggestions, and generating discussion. Materials: Please submit a jpeg image of your painting to patmkellystudio@gmail.com. Bring your oil, acrylic or watercolor painting to class. Max students: 12 Athenaeum Music & Arts Library on Facebook / Instagram
