Simple Landscapes

with Pete Marshall

Saturday | 2–5 PM | 3 hours of bold expression through simple techniques

In this playful 2.5-hour workshop, we’ll explore how to create simple yet striking landscape paintings. You’ll learn the four basic composition types and how to use contrast to add depth and atmosphere. We’ll look at how foreground elements appear darker than those in the distance, and how the sky gradually lightens toward the horizon—classic techniques that bring landscapes to life. The result: a unique artwork that reflects both technique and personal expression.

During the workshop, you’ll:

• Learn how to loosen up your brushwork and embrace spontaneity
• Explore how to add energy and balance to your compositions
• Gain confidence through accessible, repeatable techniques you can continue at home

Whether you’re brand new to painting or eager to refresh your style, this workshop invites you to play, experiment, and reconnect with your artistic instinct. Expect color, freedom, and plenty of surprises along the way.

No experience necessary—just curiosity and an open mind.
