Beyond Green:
Expressive Color in the Landscape
Bring some
color into your landscape painting this summer!
Working from the inspirational landscapes of Ryerson
Woods, students will learn how painters from the
Impressionist, Expressionist, and Fauvist movements
thought about nature. Instructor Nina Weiss will
provide a brief review of color and light to help
students utilize techniques such as layering,
optical mixture, broken brushstrokes, and glazing to
break through the limitations of local color in
representing the landscape. Ideas about compositions
and gesture will be presented to help students learn
to best compose and extract their vision from the
landscape. Students will create small paintings in
the medium of their choice, including gouache,
acrylic and oil.

Shore Art League.
