Join us for an introduction to creating the illusion of atmosphere and depth in landscape art using aerial perspective!
Learn how the very air we breathe affects how we see a landscape. Students will come away with an understanding of the role of color, value, edges and contrast, and how to use them to improve their landscape art.
Students may work in any media, although they will gain most by working in color. Students must bring their own supplies! Michele will provide reference photos, or students may use their own.
