Winter Landscape Painting Lesson

(Image above)
9:30 to 3:30 pm, Sunday, January 10

Paint a snowy forest landscape using beautiful cool hues offset against glowing warms. Use glazing, shading and cool/warm contrasts. Discover tips on how to paint snow and simplify the scene. Step-by-step demos plus feedback provided.

How to Mix Greens for Landscape Painting
9:30 to 3:30 pm, Sunday, January 17
$75 + GST

Does making natural looking greens a challenge? In this workshop you will learn simple and effective techniques for getting the exact green you need. On completion you will have a great colour reference chart and will begin a painting (your image or use Mirja’s.)

How to Choose Colours to Buy and Why
February 21, 10 to 12
$25 + GST (Might be a Zoom class)

With so many colours to choose, we need to know what to buy and why. Mirja provides the information you need. Also explained is the importance of knowing where these colours belong on the colour wheel. Learn too why we need cool reds and warm blues, which whites to use, which paints are opaques and transparent, plus much more. Have your existing paint tubes available and a black sharpie pen.
