3-Day Plein Air Workshop in Petaluma, California

Description - We’ll start out the first day doing still life study out of doors which will prepare us to tackle the landscape. Next two days we’ll be on location painting the landscape. I‘ll be teaching the structure of the landscape— what is important to include as well as what to leave out. We’ll focus on the development of strong starts, and expressing the big masses, light key and aerial perspective with color. I’ll be doing demos throughout the workshop. Each day you’ll do a color study before lunch, followed by one or two color studies in the afternoon. You are encouraged to bring original artwork or photos and talk to me about your vision as an artist. I will give you some questions to ponder during the workshop. I look forward to working with each of you!
