As with any painting subject, the first challenge is to simplify. This is especially important when
painting streetscapes. The details of buildings, vehicles, people, lampposts and street signage can feel overwhelming.
In the first session, Ron will illustrate how he reduces a streetscape to four basic shapes. He will demonstrate painting a streetscape with simple single-point perspective. He will demystify linear and atmospheric perspective. Composition and center of interest will be emphasized.
The second session will address two-point perspective, and include a two-point perspective streetscape demo. Students will see how to place people and vehicles in the streetscape and how scale and proportion play a major role. The powerful use of light and perspective of shadows will also be covered in both sessions.
Students will have the opportunity to paint along with Ron, and to ask questions during the demo using the “Chat” feature on Zoom. Students who would like feedback on their completed exercises from the workshop may email a photo of their work to Ron for his review.

2020 has been the year of the mask. Come finish out the year learning some new watercolor ‘masking’ techniques. Our workshop will include experimentation with packing tape as a masking tool, as well as other painting techniques including a variety of methods of painting stone. Students have referred to this masking approach as “liberating”.
We will have fun tackling at least two landscape pieces from Algonquin Park images. There are only 12 spots so register soon. Looking forward to painting with you.
