Learn techniques and traditions of "Old Master" landscape painters from Rembrandt to Turner, Claude Lorrain to the American Hudson River Painters, from Constable to Monet. The workshop will cover the ideas, techniques and new materials of Contemporary landscape painters. For example, there will be demonstrations of the Dutch 17th Century painters that will cover their compositional ideas and their techniques for luminous translucence in oils. With the French Impressionists the demonstrations will show their palette choices, their brushstrokes, their compositions and their color theories of simultaneous and successive contrast. The demonstration of the Hudson river painters will trace their European influences, drawing and design systems as well as oil sketching techniques.

We will conclude with contemporary currents in landscapes painting including new materials and media. The workshop will cover centuries of historic techniques (lost systems in watercolor and oil) through daily lecture-demonstrations followed by personal attention and counsel.
