The Museum School at PAAM - Summer 2008
Through a painting we can see the whole world. – Hans Hofmann

Lighten Up: Exploring Light and Color in Brewster with Wendy Olin, July 14-17, 9:00am-12:30pm, $300
The Cape’s extraordinary light has seduced and mesmerized artists and naturalists for generations. This workshop will emphasize bringing the Cape’s exceptional light into your paintings. Watercolor techniques—including lifting paint, the use of washes and overlays of color, and wet on wet painting—will be employed to aid in this process. Color mixing and discussions on color theory will also be cornerstones of the workshop. Class time will be spent in Wendy’s light-filled studio and around her grounds. Acrylics may also be used. Beginners welcome.
