Plein air: Mood, Rhythm and Movement
July 25 - 27, 2008
$360

Landscape painting is mostly about learning how to see; how to interpret, compare and edit the shapes and colors of the scene we choose to paint (oil).

We will try to see things less literally, but in more of an ‘abstract’ way. In othr words to not see literall the mountains, trees, grass, water, etc. but to see them as an interesting and beautiful arrangement of shapes and colors.

Learning to see these things more as an artist, opens up a lot more possibilities for things to paint and also helps us find our own voice.

We will work on what makes a plein air painting work; the mood rhythm and movement along with an interesting and compelling arrangement of values. Masses and color.
