This class will introduce the student to landscape painting in oil. The goal is not to make “perfect” paintings but to learn how to render a landscape through good color use, values and basic composition. The idea behind these goals is “premier coups” or “one-shot paintings.” The student will avoid the desire to create polished and overworked paintings and learn instead to handle paint without hesitation, to identify color relationships and strengthen the ability to really see the landscape rather than invent it. Lodging is available for students and their families for a modest fee.

The process is about as simple as it gets. One obtains a piece (or pieces) of Plexiglas, along with selected media, papers, and assorted inexpensive, mostly common household materials (liquid dish washing soap, masking tape, paper towels, etc.). An image is registered on the surface of the Plexiglas, a piece of paper is placed atop the image, and then rubbed from the backside until the image is transferred. The process is called monoprint: one print.Lodging is available for students and their families for a modest fee.
