"
Everything Under the Sun is Beautiful "
-Charles W. Hawthorne

In
this course we will be studying and applying many of
the fundamental techniques of Plein-air painting. Together,
we will investigate light and its effect on our visual
field and how to translate that onto a canvas. We will
not employ formulas; there is no "correct"
way to paint and no such thing as a "mistake."
It is my goal to equip you with the tools necessary
for a lifetime of exploration with Plein-air painting.
