This class is the fun one that is different than anything you’ve done before. Like the French Impressionists we will take easels and paints into the great outdoors. Students will learn skills to make outdoor painting comfortable and filled with insights. Through classroom demonstrations and exercises students will be shown all they need to know to comfortably paint outdoors, followed by several trips to beautiful locations where they will be guided to create paintings filled with light and beauty.

Course Outline:

Week 1: Lecture on Paints and Supplies, setting up portable easels, and how to find and sketch classic compositions.

Weeks 2-4: We will meet at various beautiful locations. Students will be guided by instructor led demonstration paintings and taught the use of tools with personalized direction for painting outdoors. Students will create one painting per class in the outdoors.
