Poetic Landscapes

Jun 26, 2025 8:30AM—Jun 28, 2025 4:00PM

Topics

Instructor: Farley Lewis

A solid composition and value structure, harmonious color, a variety of edges – this catches the viewer’s eye from across the room. Poetic expression and brushwork cause the viewer to linger. This workshop deals with both: the five elements of a painting – Composition, Values, Color, Edges and Detail – and poetic, creative approaches to block-ins and brushwork. Whether you are fairly new to painting or you’ve been painting for years, this time together will be both inspiring and informative. This workshop works best for acrylic and oil painters, and each day begins with a teaching and demonstration, then the participants can work on their own painting with plenty of one-on-one instruction.
