In this course, students will introduced to a range of styles and experimental approaches to landscape painting using acrylics, acrylic medium, ink and mixed media. We will explore a variety of acrylic methods with a focus on landscape, organic forms from nature and related abstracted experimental compositions. We will examine methods for creating studies of skies, clouds, and various depictions of the land, trees, and skies. Diverse methods of experimenting with acrylic, mixed media along with perspective and colour theory will be explored. Exemplars of well-known Canadian and International landscape painters will be discussed.
