Workshop Overview

This workshop title 'Exciting Landscapes in Acrylics' will focus on a painterly approach to painting west coast landscapes that will be both exciting and fresh. Students will be encouraged to paint with fearless enthusiasm. It is aimed for students to discard their tiny  brushes and paint dramatic works using larger brushes. A familiarity with the medium of acrylics is recommended for better results, but is not a prerequisite. Other mediums such as oils or gouache can be used though the primary emphasis will be on acrylics as the primary medium. This workshop will emphasize having fun with paint and to boldly embrace acrylics in capturing a variety of landscape subjects.  

Students are encouraged (should they wish) to use part of the workshop time to work on personal projects where Dale will assist in helping with compositions and any problems they have.
