Painting the Four Seasons~ Landscaping for Nature Lovers ~1:1 Private Art Club

Welcome to Mrs. D's Art Room, where it is always a good day when there’s something new to learn!

First 20 min~ We will learn how to DRAW the landscape/season of the day using easy steps. I’ll explain proportion, perspective, and some basic rules of landscape painting.

Remaining hour~ We will learn how to PAINT the piece using tons of techniques like wet onto wet, water wash, blending, and other details using different mediums like watercolors, acrylic paints, colored pencils, shading pencils, and gel pens. 

Some of the more technical aspects I will be covering are:
1. How to hold your brushes and how to use proper pressure while applying them
2. How to use proportion and perspective in drawing
3. How to paint light and dark to make things three-dimensional
4. How to paint shadows to give your painting more depth
5. How to balance colors while painting

*I will be using my original artwork for reference.

I will use a dual-screen so that kids can see me drawing with them throughout the whole class.

The young artist will be encouraged to make their artwork unique and complete their art independently if they are not finished in class. I pace our class based on the student’s abilities, so we will go slower or faster depending on how they are doing. I will extend the class for a couple of minutes whenever possible if the learner is a little behind.

No experience is needed for this class; learners will follow the directions I give.

Hope to see your learner soon!
