This class is closed to further registration.
Description:
Come paint the inspiring landscape and embrace the exciting challenge of painting and drawing outdoors. Initially, there will be an emphasis on drawing the form and structure of the landscape. There will be an added emphasis on finding visual unity when composing a sketch that will eventually become a painting. Workshop participants will work quickly to build their paintings allowing the process of drawing from life to create work with a spirit of place. Students of all levels are welcome, open to all painters using oil, watercolor, acrylic or gouache.
The location of the class will be announced a few weeks before the workshop.
