April 17 - 19 No Stress Intro to Plein Air.
Deadline to Registar is April 14
This is a plein air workshop for everybody. I try to create a relaxed and fun environment for you to learn in. The class will be taught in oils and use palette knife and brush techniques. I use a limited palette that helps control and harmonize the color and If you've never tried plein air and want to give it a try, come on! I even have a few extra plein air easels that you can use if need. I will discus topics ranging from tips on setting up, how to narrow down the scene to dealing with the elements to flying with your supplies and wet paintings. Each morning will begin with a talk and a demo. Then, I'll help everyone get started and keep working with each student one on one and with group demos. We'll paint at Callaway Gardens, (the azaleas should be in full bloom), and the charming towns in the area, Warm Springs and Pine Mountain. Everything is within a few miles. You'll be surprised how much this area has to offer.
I love to get outside and really try to capture the essence of the landscape. All levels welcome, even complete beginners. Let me know if you will need an easel as I only have a few.
We'll paint from 10 - 5 each day.
