Plein Air Painting: Personalizing the Landscape

January 27, 2025 by

This three-day plein air landscape painting workshop will focus on formal painting concepts and nurturing individuality. 

Particular emphasis will be placed on understanding color to build form and space that is truthful to one’s experiences of the landscape, through tone and temperature, but is also a personal representation. Students will practice the  balance of finding solidity & structure with spontaneity and expression, while embracing the adventure of plein air painting.  

The three day course will start in the studio with a presentation of key concepts. Then each day the class will meet offsite to paint, learn and receive feedback. 

Prior oil painting experience recommended.
