Expressive Landscapes: from Value Structure to Finish with Bill Fletcher
Presented by Cincinnati Art Club at Cincinnati Art Club Cincinnati, OH
Learn a three-step approach to designing and painting expressive landscapes with dynamic brushwork, strong values, and luminous color. Block-In — building a strong foundation with a pleasing value shape pattern and clear “in light” and “in shadow” shapes. Middle — developing exciting, meaningful color variations within those big shapes. Finish — refining with implied detail, edges, and final touches that guide the eye and bring the painting to life. Bill will focus on design, depth, light, and atmosphere throughout. He’ll reinforce the timeless fundamentals, and share his newest insights and approaches. Each day you’ll complete a painting, moving through all three steps with specific daily focus points. The workshop includes a notebook, presentations, demos, targeted exercises, group feedback, and plenty of painting time with individual guidance from me. This workshop is best suited for painters with some prior oil painting experience. Class size is limited to 12 participants to ensure plenty of personal attention. Location: Cincinnati Art Club, 1021 Parkside Place, Cincinnati Ohio 45202 (Mt. Adams) Date: June 5, 6, 7, 2026 Time: 9:30-4:00 Cost: CAC members $300. Non-members $350.
