Exciting yet challenging but so rewarding!
Painting outdoors is one of the most exciting and rewarding ways to work. However, it can be challenging and a little bit intimidating to leave the studio and learn how to decipher so much visual information! Learning foundational skills while on location. I will show you how to get started by walking you through my process for creating lively, vibrant paintings. The emphasis will be on developing a strong foundation of learning to see colors and mix them with a limited palette. Learning how to use certain artists' tools like a view finder, a sketchbook for small thumbnail sketches and even your smart phone for understanding value. How to simplify forms and editing to capture the essence of a location. Each session will start with a brief discussion about one of the key elements of painting - design, composition, value, color mixing, color temperatures, and edges. I will include a hand-out with helpful exercises to practice and additional references to take with you. We will select a spot to paint and set up our easels. You'll receive step by step instruction from how to set up your easel , arrange your palette, sketch to paint, how mix accurate colors and apply the paint. Each lesson we will complete one painting study. In the Beginner's Plein Air 5 lesson Package, each lesson will build on the next and you'll see how quickly you'll be able to capture the natural surroundings and enjoy creating outdoors. Materials and Supplies Each student will be responsible for their own supplies and easel. Below is a recommended supply list. |
