Explore the essential techniques for painting from direct observation (en plein air) with award-winning national artist Patrick Saunders. Learn to paint any subject, from the most simple to complex, with one approach. During this workshop, we will use the landscape as our subject, but the same approach can be applied to a still life, portraiture, etc. Patrick will demonstrate the process of simplifying the subject and moving to finish as rapidly as possible in order to add more energy and excitement to your painting. Artists will learn about composition, value, texture, color temperature and accuracy in paint application.
Oil and acrylic painters of all skill levels are welcome to this workshop. Sorry, we will not be focusing on watercolor.
Each day will begin with a short lecture and full demonstration, followed by one-on-one instruction. The day will end with a group critique and individual goal setting.
Patrick's classes are highly tailored for each individual artist, so all levels are welcome, from beginners to advanced painters. Class size is limited, so that each artist can receive the maximum amount of interaction with the instructor. A suggested materials list will be provided prior to the class.
