Students
will learn how to paint out of doors, including
the set-up of paints and equipment. Instruction
will focus on developing techniques to examine
the visual components of landscape painting, including
basic color relationships, patterns, and the understanding
of light and shade. Each class will begin with
a short demonstration by the instructor; students
will also be given individual instruction within
the group to address specific needs and levels
of experience. Open to all levels—first-time
painters welcome.
This class can be taken once or over a period
of 4 weeks. Each class will address specific aspects
of plein air painting and lessons will compliment
each other over the 4 week period. Open to all
levels. Looking with a fresh eye from week to
week, and creative experimentation will be tenets
of the class.
