We’ll explore the beauty of fall landscapes—focusing on warm, seasonal color palettes, soft shifting light, and the sense of space that brings a scene to life. Rather than getting caught up in every leaf or detail, we’ll learn how to capture the overall feeling of an autumn setting through thoughtful color choices and simplified forms.

Using elements like trees, distant hills, and open sky, we’ll break down complex scenery into clear, manageable shapes. You’ll practice creating depth by layering color, adjusting value, and softening edges to suggest distance and atmosphere. We’ll also look at how warm and cool tones interact to create that signature autumn glow.

This class emphasizes observation and interpretation—learning how to see what matters most in a landscape and translate it in a way that feels expressive and cohesive. Through guided exercises and a final piece, you’ll develop a more intuitive approach to painting environments that feel spacious, balanced, and full of mood.
