Learn to really see a landscape before you paint it. This course is for anyone who wants their abstract work to feel like a genuine response to a place, rather than just a picture of it. Discover how to slow down, notice far more than the view, and come home from a walk with the sketches, notes and source material that will help you to make more meaningful paintings.
What You'll Learn
Do you ever stand somewhere and wish you could capture how it feels, only to find the painting never quite gets there? This course teaches you how to connect what you see in the landscape to the marks you make in your painting, so the work carries the experience of being in the landscape, not just how it looked.
Learn to avoid ‘chasing the end’ of a painting and notice what actually matters. Turn a walk into the raw material for abstract work that feels more genuine.
Across this short course, you'll learn to read a landscape for its structure, rhythm and feeling, make quick expressive sketches, use colour for mood rather than accuracy, explore mark-making and collage, and build a visual library you can paint from for years to come.
This is a self-paced course with 12 months of unlimited access, so you can work through the material at your own speed and revisit lessons whenever you need.
