LANDSCAPE PAINTING: Schedule and Events
This event will feature a one-hour demonstration on the process of underpainting, a Q & A period, and time for signing books. All too often painters dismiss the underpainting method because they don't fully understand its technical nuance, but it holds valuable lessons for establishing a foundation of drawing, value and composition. The demo will cover the method in detail. Friday, May 14 in Bellingham, Wash. | 6:30 – 9:30 pm Author and teaching instructor Mitchell Albala will host a lively critique of landscape paintings — a great way to start the painting season. Works brought in by attendees will serve as a launching point for an exploration into many topics, from color and composition, to simplification and technique. Mitchell's engaging critiques often include examples, live diagramming of composition, and other visual aids. Books will be available for purchase and there will be time at the end to get your copy signed. Sunday, May 17 in Bellingham, Wash. | 4 – 6:00 pm Author Mitchell Albala will present a slide presentation that will give an overview of the special lessons in the book that are covered in a new ways, or have never been covered before, including simplification and massing, site selection, how value effects color identity, and the digital study. The 30-minute slide show will be followed by a Q&A period and time for signing books. Past Events
In this first public presentation of the book, Mitchell will talk about his process of writing the book, his perspectives on teaching landscape, and why he places such importance on certain topics.
