three Day Workshop

Poetic Landscapes

Farley Lewis brings a fun and creative approach to painting landscapes. He unpacks the principles of painting and the mindsets that help you be more bold and expressive. His simple, relaxed approach to teaching is informative, refreshing, and easy to remember. Farley has a BFA in Fine Art from Missouri State University, and over the past 35 years has taught art and painting in schools, businesses, plein air events, and workshops throughout the USA and even overseas. He has won top awards in regional and national-level painting events and art organizations.

A solid composition and value structure, harmonious color, and a variety of edges – this catches the viewer’s eye from across the room. Poetic expression and brushwork cause the viewer to linger. This workshop deals with both: the five basic elements of a painting – Composition, Values, Color, Edges, and Detail – and poetic, creative approaches to block-ins and brushwork. Whether you are new to painting, or you’ve been painting for years, this workshop has something for everyone. For acrylic and oil painters, each day begins with a teaching and demonstration, then the participants can work on their own painting with plenty of one-on-one instruction.
