Painting the October Landscape
3-Day Workshop in Oil, Acrylic or Pastel
Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday, October 10-12
Sponsored by The Elk River Club
Master your ability to paint the beautiful fall landscape color viewed in Banner Elk and in the North Carolina mountains this time of year by joining South Carolina artist Michael Story as he returns again to the Elk River Club for this 3-day painting workshop. You will have the option of working in any of the three mediums offered- oil, acrylic or pastel. You are encouraged to bring your own references of the local area to paint from. Michael will also provide additional references for you if needed.
You'll begin your painting with an initial charcoal drawing, followed by a color wash applied over the image.
Starting with shadow colors, you'll begin blocking in your painting, then progressing dark to light to completion. Building final layers of color and avoiding muddy mixtures, you'll achieve fresh, bright color while capturing depth and drama in your paintings.
