Pleased to be invited to conduct a four day workshop Preparing for Plein Air at the Blue Mountain School of Landscape Painting in Collingwood/Thornbury Ontario June 27-30, 2016.
Painting “en plein air” is difficult. It can intimidate even
the most experienced painter. This workshop will focus on methods to increase
your chance of success and, in turn, your enjoyment. It is designed for the serious beginner with
painting experience and the intermediate level painter wanting further
experience.
We begin with a presentation on the fundamentals for
creating strong paintings: working with colour, values, shape and form, linear
and areal perspective, and composition.
We will build the habit of strong advanced planning. We will cover
equipment and supplies.
I will demo in either water-mixable oil or acrylic and we
will do exercises together. Each
afternoon you will work on you own with supervision focusing on subject
selection, planning and making a strong start. We learn through repetition –
for plein air that means many small paintings repeating the process until it
becomes a habit - and good painting is built on good habits.
finally you are coming east how do I sign up?
