Description:
Is plein air painting for everyone? Absolutely! Is it just
like painting in the studio? Well, not exactly. There are a few important
things to remember to have a rewarding outdoor session. As an avid plein air
panter, Keiko will share her tips on how to approach this unique experience and
turn each of your future outdoor painting sessions into a great learning
opportunity which will help inform your studio painting as well. Students will
learn: how to prepare the appropriate tools and mindset, how to best utilize a
sketchbook, how to make a composition work for you, and how to simplify the
scene to capture it's essence.
