This course covers such subjects as shape, colour, form and composition for beginner, intermediate and advanced students. This is an on location painting course. The student will learn to paint such diverse subject matter as landscapes, buildings, street scenes and flowers.
You will paint from 9-4 each day and we will go for lunch on the main street making this relaxed information-packed week of painting. This workshop will focus on plein air painting outdoors. We will work on location every day, weather permitting. There will also be time for lecture information and demonstrations. We will focus on several key points throughout the week: understanding and simplifying shapes while balancing warm and cool colors, laying down a foundation quickly while creating focal points and developing the overall painting. Creating atmospheric perspective and composition development will also be addressed and there will be plenty of individual attention.
