"On Location Photo Shoot"

Learn to paint in the different paintings styles of the Old Masters! Monet had a gift for capturing the subtleties of changing light, suggesting motion without literally depicting it, and conveying mood through color and an economy of brush strokes. Seurat had a technique for portraying the play of light using tiny brushstrokes of contrasting colors that became known as Pointillism. Using this technique, he created huge compositions with tiny, detached strokes of pure color too small to be distinguished when looking at the entire work but making his paintings shimmer with brilliance. Using color, composition and lighting, learn to develop your vision before you even reach your canvas. You will learn how to look through your lens and see a painting, not a photograph.
