Description

Explore the potential of acrylic painting to create timeless landscapes full of color

Begin by getting to know your teacher for the course, Florencia Fraschina. She talks about her journey as a visual artist and teacher, what inspires her, and her biggest influences.

She then takes you through the work of some well-known landscape artists to analyze their varying styles of expression, the musicality of each landscape, and a fundamental element: the mood.

Learn some simple and effective ways to work with composition, framing, and perspective while creating your initial sketches. Finish up by observing Florencia paint a landscape step by step to see how she applies everything you've learned throughout the course.
