Focus on the dramatic presence of light and colour and gain a better understanding of composition. France is famous for expressing colour and light and so we will include these characteristics in our inspirational journey. We will explore a typical French scene with both landscape and architectural elements which are so characteristic of France. The Southwest of France, and Paris, with infinite possibilities will prove to be most exciting. Our painting will exemplify all of these elements to provide a beautiful result. Colour mixing, and Bonnie’s exciting use and interpretation of colour will be emphasized for students. If colour excites you, then this workshop is for you! Atmospheric and linear perspective will also be key objectives, and taught. Bonnie’s hands-on approach and exciting demos will inspire passion and luminous paintings. Bonnie’s choice of the piece will be shared here, along with the materials list, following her return from France later this summer.
