Online Painting Workshop Series Focuses on Nocturnal Landscapes

An online workshop series titled 'Paint Along August: Let's Paint Peaceful Country Nights' is being offered, led by artist Johannes Vloothuis. The program consists of three separate classes, each dedicated to a different medium: oils (which can also be done in acrylics), watercolor, and pastels. Participants are guided through creating paintings that depict serene nighttime country scenes, emphasizing the capture of subtle light and atmospheric details like campfires, moonlight, and nocturnal sounds. The workshops are conducted via live streams on Twitch, with recordings made available a few days after each session. Access to the live streams may require a Twitch account, which is separate from an Artists Network login, and viewers can use Amazon Prime credentials. For each class, participants are provided with downloadable reference photos and traceable templates in PDF format, requiring Adobe Acrobat Reader. Detailed material lists are supplied, including specific brush and paint recommendations from brands like Winsor & Newton, Gamblin, and Rosemary & Co. For pastels, the Rembrandt 90 Stick Landscape Set is suggested, along with grit-based papers such as LUX Archival. The workshops are interactive, with Vloothuis offering direct email support and including a critique session in the pastel class. The content is hosted on the Artists Network website, with technical download instructions provided for various browsers and operating systems.
