Painting Mountains and Valleys - February 2018

Kate working on her original oil painting

I have just completed teaching the course 'Painting Mountains and Valleys' at Northwood WI Hall.  The twelve students and I studied and discussed different artists' work in the past on the subject.  As there were a few new students I decided to do a recap of composition skills, atmospheric perspective as well as defined and soft edges.  We then spent a good proportion of time looking at how to paint snow including creating warm and cool snow mixes.  This gave every student a good base to create their own mountain or valley painting. 

Their beautiful paintings are shown here and I am proud that each student's painting portrays their own individual style - including 1930s poster art to Expressionist art.
