Galleries and art dealers
representing Jennifer Young's landscape paintings

Class description:

While painting the landscape by direct observation in nature is ideal, there is much to be learned from studying landscape painting in the studio. In this studio workshop we will focus on the building blocks that help to acheive a strong foundation for your landscape paintings, whether they're created in the studio or en plein air.

Lectures and demonstrations will include general oil painting tools and tips, color mixing, and methods to create a strong design and convincing illusion through the use of color, composition, value and shape.

The small class size will allow for a more in-depth and personalized experience, as well as adequate time for painting and group critique.

Studio classes are limited to 6 students, so register now to reserve your spot!

Supplies list

Below is a general list of supplies that I recommend. A detailed supply list will be sent upon registration for the workshop

Oil paints: It is highly recommended that you choose professional grade oil paints over student grade. Brands such as Windsor & Newton, Gamblin, Rembrandt, etc. are readily available in most art supplies stores online and in retail locations.

Below are colors I use and will most likely be on my palette for my painting demonstrations:

Cadmium Yellow Light, Indian Yellow, Alizarin Crimson Permanent, Permanent Rose, Ultramarine Blue, Windsor Green or Pthalo Green, Titanium White

• Container for washing brushes (Holbein brush cleaner, wide mouth jar, or something similar)
• Additional smaller container if you want- for holding painting medium, or to hold clean turpenoid/mineral spirits (a small wide-mouthed jar or small can like a tuna can works well)
• Odorless mineral spirits or Turpenoid Natural
• Painting medium, if you use it (e.g. Galkyd lite, Liquin or Wingel)
• Portable palette- wood, glass or plexi backed with wood, cardboard, or foamcore (Tear off paper palettes are not recommended.)
• Paper towels
• Plastic bags for trash- (plastic grocery store bags with handles work well)
• Sketch pad, pencil, eraser
• 4 - 8 painting surfaces; primed stretched canvases, canvas panels or canvas boards no larger than 12x16. Cardboard backed canvas panels are not recommended.
• An assortment of natural bristle brushes in a range of sizes from 2 to 12. Flats, rounds, and filberts. Also bring a small round or rigger for detail. One or two softer sable or synthetic are optional. I like flats or "cat's tongue" shape.
• Palette knife (with the inverted handle, not kind that is flat from tip to handle)
• Apron or smock to protect clothing
• Lightweight portable easel ( Julian half box or similar) or pochade box with tripod.
• Portable chair (optional- we will have some chairs, but I recommend standing when you paint)
• Other useful items: latex gloves, hand cleaner or baby wipes, camera, snacks.
