Lesson 4. Tranquility Copy

In this class you will paint beautiful tranquility sceneries in realistic and abstract styles.

Exercise 1. Feeling the calm of Tranquillity

This time you will go for a walk in a natural environment. Find a favourite spot in your garden or a nearby park. Try to capture the sense of the calm air, light breeze, the feeling of the light and reflection on still water.

We will create paintings with realistic and abstract styles. So, try to add to your visual library not only images but also feelings that you want to express in your paintings.

Meanwhile, just enjoy your walk!
