The Plein-air painting workshop introduces the student/participant to the act of creating landscape painting in the landscape-a process of direct observation painting. Plein air painting is different from the studio practice due to only the essential portable materials brought into the landscape to faithfully observe, translate and record what is before the artist standing before the motif. This is a hands-on studio workshop. The teacher will demonstrate each subject and paint alongside the students who will create an individual works with direction and guidance throughout the process. Participants with a variety of painting skills and creative experience are welcome, from the beginner to the advanced artist. The instructor will guide the student from laying out the palette, to setting up the composition, establishing the planes, blocking out the shadows, and recording an individual landscape painting. This workshop meets on location.
