Sat 4/6 10am to 3pm Art by the River Riverview Park
Sat 4/6 9-12 Beginning Drawing and Painting
Instructor: Richard Gillmore
Medium: Pencil and Acrylic
Level: All levels welcome
Description: This class is on painting water in the landscape for acrylic
artists. The idea of including a body of water in your painting or doing a plein air at a river, lake, or other body of water has some basic requirements as to how water reflects light. How reflections are rendered can make your painting either believable or amateurish. I will demonstrate how to properly render water in the landscape and how the addition of a light source makes shadows appear naturally.
Supplies: For drawing you just need a sketch pad and a number 2 pencil or other source of graphite. For the acrylic painting bring a canvas or board preferably 11x14- 16x20, acrylic paints and bushes plus a pallet or some paper plates. Also please bring a drape or some news paper to cover the table at your work station. You can buy a basic acrylic set at Walmart for $4.99, and a tube of white, for $2.99 as you will use a lot of white!
