Description:
In this 2-day workshop you will learn to paint dramatic landscapes in combination with awesome cloud formations, as only master-painter Andy Eccleshall can teach it! 

This workshop will still include his trademark skies - his students wouldn't forgive us if that wasn't part of an Andy workshop! - but will focus as much on what he's been painting more of lately: compelling landscape scenery. His recent show at Cole Gallery showcased these landscape pieces, and everyone has been responding with gasps and oooh's and aaaah's to this work. Now is your chance to learn to paint these scenes!

Through demo and lecture, while he is working on a painting of his own, Andy will guide you step by step through the stages of creating these amazing landscape-and-cloud paintings. Andy will supply specific reference photos, which will help you achieve the goal of mastering drama in your landscape. You are welcome to bring your own reference if you would like to work on your own piece on the second day of class.

Brushes:

Good quality synthetic brushes in "double sizes". (This means they usually have long handles and the sizes are generally twice as big as short handled brushes, like the type used in watercolor.)

• For oil painters: Odorless mineral spirits, and alkyd drying medium such as Galkyd Light, Solvent Free Galkyd (no Liquin, please). No stinky mediums allowed.
