Week 11 Cheltenham Morning Class - Landscape in the Style of Van Gogh - Acrylics
Transported to the South of France, in this session we used acrylic paint to explore colour and texture within landscapes. Using both brushes and palette knives, we had great fun creating landscapes using a range of mark making techniques.
Inspired by the colour palette and mark making techniques of Van Gogh we created landscapes that created texture and demonstrated painterly techniques. We explored colour and colour mixing, particularly using complementary colours to darken shades.
