Capturing the Effect of Light - Plein Air
FOUR DAY IMMERSIVE WORKSHOP
This will be a PLEIN AIR class
Held outside weather permitting
First half day will be in my studio
Skill level: All skill levels are welcome.
Come paint with me in my favorite plein air locations!
Materials used: Michele will be working in oils, all media accepted.
Overview:
Michele will show you how to create a dramatic, light filled painting outdoors. We will travel to Michele's favorite locations near Santa Fe each day.
There are many adobe buildings, landscapes and street scenes that we will incorporate into paintings.
Michele will also teach you how to compose your paintings using strong design, correct value, and temperature as well as paint manipulation.
You will start with a small-value Study/Thrust Map for the design and then move on to the canvas. For these studies, you will use 4”x 6” index cards or a SMALL sketch book and learn to create them quickly.
Then you will start your canvas with a strongly designed underpainting and then add the colors with the correct values and color chroma.
Michele will do daily morning demonstrations followed by student work time with lots of one-on-one help.
It will be a fun and information-packed workshop!
Evening gathering/meals/critiques and discussions on art are also included.
Due to space limitations there will be a Maximum of 9 students.
