Did you see Jonathan Van Brunt’s exhibition of “Long Island Landscapes” last year? It excited a lot of people who wanted to learn “how did he to do that”. Well now’s your chance! Jon will be instructing a 1-day workshop on “Beginner Acrylic Landscape” painting next month. He’ll bring a photo reference so everyone can go through the interpretive process together. Students can focus on simple compositions and fundamental techniques like layering and color mixing to create depth.
This 1-day workshop will take place on Saturday, March 21st from 10AM-2PM and the fee is $95 per person. Students are asked to bring the following materials: 11x14" canvas, a basic set of Acrylic paint and brushes.
