Are you interested in painting out of doors and honing your ability to see color relationships and create pictorial space? This workshop will introduce students to the practice of painting in the open air, 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. Lessons will be informed by the elegantly simple painting approach of capturing light and color on canvas developed by the artist Henry Hensche. Each class will begin with a short demonstration by the instructor; students will also receive individual instruction within the group to address specific needs and levels of experience. Open to all levels: first-time painters welcome.
