Jim Wodark Workshop – Painting the Colorado Landscape

Workshop Description

Do you struggle with ugly paintings? Are you full of excitement when you start a painting, only to get depressed at the end because the painting seems to fall apart? How do you communicate your vision and joy effectively in your painting? It all starts with composition, the most important part of painting! Learn how to compose better paintings! Come join Jim Wodark in Crested Butte – the Wildflower Capitol of Colorado, and see how to strengthen the design of your paintings so that they turn out more like what you intended. Discover several ways to compose a painting as well as how to use value, color, edges, line and shape to direct the viewer in your painting. The course will be largely Plein Air painting outdoors, with a half day on Sunday spent debriefing in the studio. Your time will be spent using and honing the skills and techniques Jim presents.

The course is a 3-day workshop. Jim will discuss and demonstrate several ways to compose landscape paintings. He will go step-by-step and show you how to compose successfully, as well as how to use the tools of painting  – value, color, edges, line, and shape – to guide your eye through the painting.
The more you understand these ideas and methods, the better your painting will reflect the story and emotion that you wish to communicate.
