Painting the Landscape  

in-person painting workshop in Sarasota with Lucy Barber

Registration for this workshop has ended. 

You will learn the essential structures needed to establish successful landscape painting, over the course of three days.

The Essentials are:

  • understanding how to use “spatial zones” near to far in landscape
  • understanding how to use shape and value contrast to emphasize those spatial zones
  • how to use color combined with these things to create sensitive qualities of light and atmosphere within the space of your landscape paintings.
  • paint application

DATES & TIME: December 1, 2, 3, 2022 (Thursday - Saturday).     9:30am - 1:30pm 

WHERE: 2225 6th Street, Sarasota, FL 34237.  [Virginia Hoffman Studio]

This workshop takes place over three consecutive days: December 1, 2 and 3, 2022. Each day is 4 hours, 9:30am-1:30pm; total of 12 hours workshop time. Class limit, 15 students

  • We'll focus on how to effectively work from photography reference without looking like we're "copying" a photo.
  • Composition, color, landscape space, aerial perspective and more will be covered. 
  • Inspired by a masterwork landscape: understanding compositional structure, using drawing to understand the structure of a successful landscape composition.
  • We continue with color, working from photography reference supplied in the workshop. 
  • We will devote a partial day to all the ins-and-outs and how-tos for all you need, to prepare for plein-air painting. 

This is a great opportunity to work closely in-person with Lucy.

"Lucy is an incredibly talented artist and is equally talented as a teacher. Her classes go deep and no matter where you are in the learning process she gives new meaning and insights to the process. I especially value her simplicity in how to creatively approach and explore a subject as a way to finding its beauty."

Brava, Lucy!"
