MAC School - Art Gems - Keeping it Simple: Acrylics with Tom Shardlow

April 25 – Keeping it Simple: Acrylics with Tom Shardlow

Painting can be one of the most difficult and complex of undertakings. There are many rules, all of which can be broken. However, keeping it simple can cut through the confusion and produce rewarding results. This one-day workshop will focus on simplification to develop both strong design and appealing variation. We’ll work through the various stages while building your painting on a black gesso ground. 

Bring your own reference landscape photo to work from.
