• Painting Expressive Fall Views

    Slow River Studio

    Topsfield, MA

    November 2 + 3, 2024 (rescheduled from 10/26+27)


    This two day workshop with Amy Brnger will focus on painting the light and color of fall landscapes. You will focus on finding major shapes in your compositions, ignoring unnecessary details, using your brush energy to reflect the changing landscape and light, and exploring the possibilities of color using a split primary palette.

    If weather is inclement, we will head inside to the Topsfield studio and paint flowers/still using a window--paint landscape from inside!

    9-4, Sat + Sun

    Let’s work quickly and with purpose, capturing the essence of flowers in single session, alla prima painting. Our work together will include:

    • Identifying major shapes and shifts in space;
    • using vanishing and firm edges to establish structure and atmosphere;
    • mixing luminous color and related neutrals to create vibrant paintings. 


    Each day, Amy will review alla prima techniques and strategies, then complete an oil painting demo. After the demonstration, participants will work on single session paintings and get direct and instructive feedback from Amy.  Amy will demo in oil but other mediums are welcome!
