This workshop is designed to teach students the fundamentals of painting on location through the study of light, color, value and atmosphere through close observation of nature along with a look at tools and techniques. With an understanding of these principles students can more easily meet the challenges of plein air painting: working directly from nature, constantly changing light, and capturing the essence of a landscape quickly. We will be painting on location in the seacoast area. Students will need a portable easel, painting supplies, drinking water, food and sun protection.
