Workshop Description:
A workshop focused on painting el plein air (outdoors on location) to capture natural light, atmosphere, and landscape subjects, teaching fundamental techniques like color mixing, composition, value, and simplifying scenes, suitable for all levels emphasizing learning from direct observation and the environment.
A plein air workshop (from the French en plein air, meaning "in the open air") is an educational art session focused on painting or drawing directly from nature outdoors. Unlike studio painting, which often uses photographs as reference, plein air artists must capture shifting light, atmosphere, and moving subjects in real-time.
