Landscape painting
Course leader: Weikko Kuuzela
Welcome to Capellagården's course in landscape painting! The diverse Öland landscape with its contrasts – the barren Alvar, the fertile agricultural landscape, the sea and Capellagården's garden – inspires studies and interpretations. Different aspects such as composition, light, color, aerial perspective, details and simplifications will be covered. You can work with any technique or change techniques during the course. The course leader will be available during working days for individual tutoring. Each course day ends with a joint review that concretely highlights the above-mentioned aspects.
