This 3-day workshop will introduce the working methods of drawing and painting outside, en plein air, in the landscape. Artists will learn about the equipment, such as easels, palettes, and other helpful tools to support their artmaking outside in a comfortable manner, in addition to artistic techniques to aid in the process of drawing and painting outside. All artists will feel empowered and confident in their methods and techniques of working en plein air by the close of the class.
This course is open to artists of all experience levels using wet or dry media, specifically acrylic paint, oil paint, water soluble oil paint, pencil and/or charcoal. Please bring the materials you wish to work with. Can you expect to create 1-2 works of art per day based on your media, canvas size and how fast you typically work. Each day will consist of demonstrations, open studio time with ample one-to-one guidance, and some time for group critique and discussion. We will break for lunch between 12:30-1:30 each day.
