Enhance your landscape paintings by learning how to confidently and effectively include the human figure. In this three-day oil painting workshop, acclaimed artist and instructor Gayle Levee will guide participants through the process of integrating people into landscape settings to add depth, narrative, and visual interest.
Through a combination of demonstrations, hands-on painting, and individualized feedback, artists will explore key concepts such as figure placement, proportion, gesture, and the interaction of light and atmosphere on both landscape and figure. This workshop is designed for intermediate to advanced painters looking to strengthen their compositional skills and expand their artistic range. |
