We will approach the landscape with a sense of freedom and play, executing exercises centered around various tension points: horizontal and diagonal compositions; fast and slow movement; natural and industrial imagery; earthy and spiritual feeling; light and dark tones; and shallow and deep space. As we engage with these exercises, we will discuss our paintings within the context of other landscape painters that have worked from the Outer Cape landscape. Hopefully, by the end of the class, students will have a better understanding of how to fearlessly enter into a painting and develop a personal direction. 

Materials list to come.
