Description:
During this 5 week class we will focus on the design of a horizontal landscape or cityscape that will be painted on a diptych (2 canvases side by side) or triptych (3 canvases side by side). The history of the Diptych/Triptych will be discussed and examples from history and present day will be shown. Each step will be demonstrated by the instructor, then experienced by the students. Horizontal landscape references will be provided but bring photos if you have them. If you are stuck and looking for something to energize you into forward momentum as a painter and you are looking to get out of the box of the traditional single painting process, this is the class for you.
