Student Gallery: Landscape Painting

The student works displayed here were done in various plein air classes and workshops. In all classes students are encouraged to find their own style. The goal is not to get students to paint like I do, but to expose them to a variety of approaches they can implement once the class is over.

At my landscape blog: view several works by the students of the 2010 Skagit Valley workshop: The Lessons of Fog: Massing, Values Zones, Edges and Neutrals

Simplification and massing is a core practice in all classes. I show students how to think in terms of bold, simplified shapes — and detail second.
