Ponting Workshop :: Landscapes

I didn’t know what to expect going into this workshop as her specialty is still lifes. We worked on a demo painting where she got into painting clouds (very colourfull clouds) as well as some water.

Each student could work on either that particular scene or our own. Most of us chose to work on different landscapes and it provided a great variety in the class.

We were able to get Dianna’s help and advice on any areas of the painting that we needed help on. Needless to say, we all kept her very busy during the two days.

My first painting is the red barn set on a peninsula, provided by Cravia on WetCanvas. I am, overall, moderately satisfied with the outcome although I still want to go back and touch it up in places. Maybe even get the water refined.

The other landscape was from the WetCanvas reference library and I was attracted to it as it reminded me of my childhood growing up in Alberta. Much happier with this one but I will go in and rework the green mid-ground.
