WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION: This class is for students new to plein air, as well as advanced plein air painters who just want to get out and warm up for the season. Tom will do short demos each day, reminding you how to look at the landscape and capture the essence of the scene. You will learn how the light affects the mood of the day and determines your color choices. Tom will guide you in how to crop, simplify and compose a composition and become more efficient using larger brushes, selecting just enough details so as not to clutter the impression. The workshop will cover various subjects and viewpoints. |
