COURSE OUTLINE:    This course is for those that wish to learn how to paint wildlife.  Basic wildlife painting techniques will are covered and during the workshop each participant will complete a wildlife painting.  Terry shares photos, collages, sketches and a number of finished works from his portfolio to illustrate the method he uses.  He provides several options for acquiring, selecting and combining source material then implements them in the workshop painting.   In this workshop, you will learn how to tackle nature scenes - one step at a time.  You will learn how to paint what you see, instead of worrying about the complexity of the whole. You will learn how to critique your work-in-progress, make revisions, and begin adding details.  The project image, a finished willife artwork, will be used as a demonstration.  You will receive tips on lighting, perspective, coloration, and atmosphere. Finally, the project image will be completed as you add highlights to the entire painting and make revisions to your work, resulting in a completed wildlife canvas.
