Landscape Workshop with PCAD Professor Jason Ward
Landscape Workshop with PCAD Professor Jason Ward
April 11 @ 10:00 am – 4:00 pm
April 11, 2026 10AM-4PM – $100 per person This class takes us outdoors where we respond directly to what the landscape has to offer. If this class is held indoors we will be working from a shared reference. We’ll start by discussing the features of the landscape and some strategies for how to get the most out of our time painting. We’ll focus on finding a compelling composition, the use of color and tone, understanding the effects of atmospheric perspective to create a convincing sense of depth, as well as methods for rendering specific features of the scene. We end each class with a brief critique. This class is open to beginners and advanced students of any painting or drawing medium. Materials list: Painting oils/acrylics: – Paints: Titanium White, Burnt Sienna, Burnt Umber, Cadmium Red, Cadmium Yellow, Ultramarine BlueAll other colors are optional -Brushes: A variety of brush sizes and shapes, as well as, both stiff and soft bristles are recommended. -Palette Knife: I use a medium/small metal diamond shaped palette knife for both mixing and application of paint. -Artist Palette: A proper wood or glass palette is recommended, palette paper will work fine for this workshop. Please avoid creative substitutes (such as watercolor palettes, paper plates, anything wrapped in tinfoil, etc.) as they tend to cause problems during the painting process. -Surface: A primed and stretched canvas, or hardboard panel is best for painting. A heavy bodied paper, such as watercolor paper, will also work. -Lint Free Rags or paper Towels -(Optional) For oils -Turpentine, Odorless Turpiniod, or Mineral Spirits:Good for cleaning brushes, but I just use soap and water. For Acrylic- jar for water Drawing: Pencils and Graphite Sticks: A range of leads from H-B’s is recommended, however a classic #2 pencil is hard to beat. -Charcoal: Soft vine charcoal, compressed charcoal sticks, charcoal pencils, and charcoal powder are all recommended. -Erasers: A kneaded eraser and a rectangular white eraser are both great. I often use pink pencil cap erasers. -Artist Sandpaper Block or Stump: A great tool for toning a surface, and sharpening pencils and charcoal sticks. -Surface: For graphite I recommend a heavy bodied hot press paper such as Bristol Vellum. For Charcoal, a heavy bodied charcoal or watercolor paper will work. My preferred paper for charcoal is Rives BFK. -Paper Towels and Artist brushes: For blending. REGISTER HERE
