In this workshop, open to all levels, Teresa will help you take your landscapes to a powerful new level. The workshop will demonstrate Teresa’s love for light and mood with the overall focus: to build a better landscape. The first half of each day will be a demonstration and talk with time for Q & A. The second half of each day will be helping each participant work through their painting. Teresa will give constructive information on what areas can be improved and the best ways to go about the changes as your painting progresses.
TAKE YOUR LANDSCAPES FROM “NICE” to “DYNAMIC” 
You will learn the five techniques Teresa uses for a more powerful painting. Using stronger value statements and better shapes you will learn to build your landscape with thoughtful steps. ​
​COLOR
Loose the fear of color...learn to add color and keep your values correct. Getting away from green!
COMPOSITION
Learn the use of engaging “lead-ins”, better placement of focal areas and thumbnail sketches for stronger compositions.
EXPAND YOUR LANDSCAPE WITH DRAMATIC SKIES
Creating depth and movement with skies. ​
CREATE MOOD AND ATMOSPHERE 
The use of appropriate color palettes, atmospheric perspective, creative mark making, layering and correct edge quality to create engaging landscapes
WORK FROM PHOTOS
Learn to take better reference photos. How to use your camera/phone to create better compositions. How to simplify and what to leave out when working from photos. Combining photos.
