COURSE OUTLINE
Session 1 'Attain the Next Level with John David Anderson' November 16, 2024
John will begin the program with a short talk about composition, colour, texture and the use of materials. Demonstration will focus on constructing a landscape using a layered technique beginning with blocking in of all shapes. You can either work from your own reference or John will provide one.
During the day, participants will paint with one-on-one guidance on their progress. In addition we are offering an exciting opportunity for you to have a 'one on one' critique of one piece of your own work by a professional artist.
There will be a critique at the end of the day for all participants of the day's work. With this valuable information you can finish the piece during the next 3 weeks at your own pace and return on Dec.7 for a final critique of your work from today.
Session 2 'Next Level in defining your own style' December 7, 2024
Focus is on attaining the 'Next Level' in your paintings. You are encouraged to bring your own reference photo to work from under John's guidance. (If not he will provide some photos for you to choose from.) John will do a short demonstration of a landscape painting in the morning. Through out the day he will provide guidance on a one to one with you to get you to the 'next level' in your work with confidence.
John will provide participants with regular feedback on their respective painting. There will be a valuable final critique of your painting at the end of the day of all participants.
In addition you are invited to bring in the painting from Nov. 16, for a 'one on one' critique.
