Join award-winning artist Jennifer McChristian in this fun and invigorating 5-day plein-air painting workshop.
WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:
The aim of this workshop is to teach you to interpret the landscape in terms of paint, using light and color to create form. Color relationships, design/composition, simplifying and the benefits of painting outdoors will be discussed, as well as how to design and build a painting that carries an emotional impact. We will focus on values, shapes, edges and color as well as paint handling and materials. The instructor will offer a brief demonstration each day and advice on a one-on-one basis in the field. Additionally, there will be class discussions and critique of work so that participants will learn from individual instruction as well as each other.
NOTE: In the event of inclement weather students must bring with them several reference photographs of landscapes.
