  1. Create a drawing on location. Sit in your driveway, on the street in front of your house or at a place that is part of your neighborhood’s identity and draw the scene.  Also photograph the scene for extra reference during class time.  Choose a dynamic point of view that shows a large and long depth of field.  Fully develop the drawing using a range of values.
  2. Next use that drawing to create and abstract expressive shape landscape painting inspired by Richard Diebenkorn.  Choose a color scheme and render in acrylic or pastel.
