Howard Park and Lisa Miceli

Explore how to approach fall’s unique, bright colors as well as the subtle browns and ochres of the changing season. Overcome the challenges of painting the colorful transformations of fall and learn to interpret vivid colors in the landscape, so that they fit a proper value and color scheme, and the design and composition of your painting. Learn how to balance color and light effects by understanding the source of light and focusing on effective use of values in your painting.

Through demonstrations in oil and watercolor and individual instruction, students will learn to design a well-balanced fall landscape that captures the beauty of fall’s brilliance, warmth, and changing light.
