Don’t forget to pack a lunch!

Plein Air painting is enjoyable; however a little knowledge of materials and understanding a few principles of  painting from life is essential.

Instructor John Clayton will provide a short demo in each painting session. This workshop will  focus on learning to see color, and making simple color choices that help identify large shapes. Learning about different light keys and understanding value control is essential for creating expressive light filled paintings.

We will primarily work with a painting knife; the knife is a great way to create clean color notes and changing color shapes makes for a loose painting. The class is a combination of outdoor painting and studio painting. We will go over our work in the studio each day. John will give personal attention and  insightful direction to each artist.
