landscape painting: figure/ground
A 5-session online course with the Penn Studio School of Art,
Saturdays, September 6–October 11, 2025.
The class will delve into seeing, recognizing, and painting the visual phenomena we experience in the process of perception — specifically, the use of figure/ground in landscape painting. We will explore the history and design principle of figure/ground related to the visual arts, and we’ll apply this knowledge to painting the landscape. The class will also touch on color relationships, abstraction/observation, and composition. In terms of materials, we will also discuss how to work with acrylics such that the paint behaves more like oil.
