LESS IS MORE: FINDING FEWER SHAPES IN THE LANDSCAPE
In this class with Brenda Coldwell, we will paint small studies with three to seven shapes. This is an exercise in simplifying the number of shapes within your painting to make it a more impactful piece.
I’ve been experimenting with limiting the number of shapes, looking out my studio window.
In the afternoon, we will take one of your earlier studies and play with changing some of those shape values.
We will paint outside at On Track Studios. Please bring your lunch. I’ll have tea, water, coffee.
8 spots available.

Supplies needed:
- Plein air gear
- Your own palette of paint-whatever you are comfortable using. I use a primary palette with a few “add ons”.
- Small and medium palette knife; we will use these mostly!
- Small brushes: size 3-4
- Pencil
- 9 x 12 panel to be taped off when you come to workshop, (I have the tape)
- Odorless mineral spirits
- Paper towels.
- Bring your lunch.
- Bring a playful attitude! There is no pressure to “create a painting”. This is an opportunity to learn to see fewer shapes and hopefully it will translate into your plein air and studio work.
