Canola Fields

I live in Heidelberg and right around me throughout the year there are certain epic natural events. Canola season is one of those epic events, my world turns yellow and I literally soak up the yellow for hours on end.

In this course I share the inspiration these bright and rolling fields conjure up in me. You will explore how levels work in a landscape, how to create depth and how warm and cold colours contribute to these.

This course covers prelimanary sketches and four different methods and paint techniques. You can use either oils or acrylics.
