Plein Air Workshops

Class Time: 9am-4pm (Workshop will include a midday lunch break, food not included)

Location: Meet in the Main Lobby (Pine Room)

Additional Information: This workshop will go over the basics of painting from life outdoors. We will discuss composition and design, palette set up and color mixing, thumbnail sketching to help decide on what to paint and to become aware of values, and use of tools to aid in creating your painting. You may bring whatever supplies you feel comfortable with. We strongly suggest, if you would like to fully benefit from this workshop, that you also work in oils. Each medium is different, and though the instructor might be able to advise you regarding composition, color, and value, if you choose a medium other than oil they cannot teach you the techniques they use.
