Course Description:

Painting en plein air “in the open air” is an exhilarating experience. This class explores the particular challenges and joys of working outside of the studio environment. Students will learn how to select the view, develop a composition, explore color harmonies, create atmosphere, capture the effects of sunlight and more. Some painting experience is helpful but beginners are welcome.

Our first class meeting will be on location. The basics of materials, equipment and techniques will be covered the first day. Students will be encouraged to focus on drawing: selecting your scenes and developing your compositions and value plans in your sketch books. The second day on location students will explore different color harmonies, working toward full color on the third and fourth days. Students may choose to work in oils, acrylics or watercolor. See "Class Files" for supply lists.
