BAA – 3-Day Landscape Workshop with Artist TJ Cunningham / Accurately & Expressively Painting Trees

I often hear the remark that painting the landscape is easier than painting a portrait because “trees don’t care if you get their branches wrong.” While I see the point, as a professional landscape artist, I am acutely aware of the tremendous importance of trees in a painting and the pressure to paint them convincingly. If you have ever tried to paint a tree, you know exactly what I mean.  That’s why I am teaching this intensive workshop all about trees. We’ll look at basic tree species and best practices to identify and paint them during our time together. I’ll introduce you to painters, historic and contemporary, who paint trees masterfully. Most importantly, we’ll paint together, and I will carefully explain and demonstrate my approach to painting trees.   This studio workshop will include lots of personal instruction and daily demonstrations.  Reference photographs will be provided.  Minimum of 9 students, Maximum of 12 students. FEE: $480 for Booth Museum Members, $530 for not-yet-members.
