Two-part Workshop based on the landscape sketches of Camille Corot, (French, 1796-1875) an important figure in the “Plein Air” movement in the mid-1800s. We’ll make a quick overview of his sketches on paper, paying attention to his stylistic variations used in the depiction of singular objects in a landscape (rocks, trees, mountains) and the more complex, multi-object compositions suggesting distance and atmosphere with the use of line, mass and tone. Our Catskills landscapes are ideal locations to reinterpret Corot’s approach to drawing the Italian and French countryside. ALL LEVELS WELCOME.
