This week will be all about landscapes and who better to visit when it comes to the Landscape, but George Inness, the master of Mood and Sensuality. I have an ulterior motive, my swimmers are getting bogged down in detail...my fault. My solution, simplify the shapes with large blocks of muted colours often used by master Inness.

MASTER GEORGE INNESS

 The man painted BIG too!

 PROJECT INFORMATION 

The team will be in CLASSROOM 1 -  Everyone will have the new easels:=)

I would prefer brown bag to the disruption of leaving, paying and returning from outside lunch sources. This will allow more time at the lunch table to chat and study our progress.

The canvas surface will be 30x30. An ample supply of smooth 30x30 stretched oil primed linen canvas will always be available at $30. each.....or bring your own. 

There will also be a supply of Royal soft grip brushes (SG4500 Series) available at $2.50 each.

I do encourage using a glass palette - old picture frame glass works with a white sheet of paper and a cardboard backing or foam core with blue taped edges to hold it all together. 

Please try to have (1) Flexible palette knife. Preferably similar to the two on the left.

NOTE: This an oil painting team - consider that when registering. Water based oils do not work the same way.  I also have no experience in Acrylics. 

16X20 GLASS PALETTE

 

REFERENCES WITH OR WITHOUT HORSES

 CROPPED DETAIL

SUN REFERENCE

NOTE: Reference change (6-21-16) sun image BELOW prints more acuate - I'll have hard copies Saturday 

Unlike the Inness examples above, ours will be light and colourfull like the Impressionists might have done.
