An good old fashioned outdoor painting workshop with social distancing and masks and lots learning.

4-day intensive class which is designed to push your boundaries, enhance your thought process and your painting vocabulary.  Learn how to build intent into your work.

It is about voice finding with a focus on the components of great art making, how to interpret nature without being literal. Think Shakespeare with paint!

The level of interpretation and abstraction is up to you. We focus in on the components of painting and not how to just render a thing, how to put you in the painting. Learn to determine your expressive theme or mood from a nature scene and then quantify that abstractly. Lots of demos in gouache and oil.

The first day in the field is for sketches, experiments, and developing ideas. Then the next 3-days will be painting en plein air the landscape in front of you. All mediums, all skill levels, however, a basic understanding of color mixing and paint handling would be very helpful.
