Plein Air : Personalizing the Landscape Workshop (3 Day)
Working ‘en plein air’, use perception to paint your own unique voice in the landscape. Let go of preconceived notions of what a painting should look like, experiment with bold color mixing, loose paint handling, and atypical compositions to learn to trust and find a personal perspective. Day one will focus on playing with color palettes; day two composition and focus and day three on loosening up. Expect one on one attention from the Instructor to support your progress, slideshows and group discussion and feedback.
(Kimball Art Center has plein air easels for students to borrow upon request) See examples of the instructor’s work below!
