Plein Air Painting in Cinque Terre, Italy

Description - In this workshop we will explore the landscape, villages and light of this region to find wonderful motifs for our canvases. The hardest part will be choosing from the myriad opportunities of subjects available to us. There will certainly be “eye candy” in every direction just begging to be painted. Whether you are an experienced painter or are opening up your first tube of oil paint, I will work with you at whatever level of experience you have. You will learn the “tried and true” techniques that have been used by the best landscape painters in history. Discovering the unique Cinque Terre color palette will be high on our agenda. I’ll teach you how to create a sense of place and time that will move the viewer. We will achieve this goal by focusing on the beauty of line, tone and color.
