Please join Jim Ostlund, (a very accomplished painter: jimostlund.com) and I, as we take students through a step-by-step process of creating a painting, en plein air.

 Working directly from nature can be an inspiring experience but requires patience, and the knowledge of some basic principles~ that we will discuss throughout the workshop.  We will help you to look for balanced shape arrangements, composing with line, as well as help you see and achieve a sense of atmosphere in your painting.

Individually, we will address your use of color when keying (light and dark values of color) or assessing light and dark values, to achieve the overall tonal composition.

Jim’s and my teaching is always tailored to your specific needs. Beginners and advanced levels are welcome.

Please come with an openness and a readiness to capture nature through color, line and atmosphere on canvas. Learn about seeing and painting en plein air as you record the beauty you're witnessing.

Friday morning's workshop will consist of a demonstration in approaching a landscape directly from nature.  Friday afternoon's painting session will consist of everyone setting up and painting selected areas.. (9am - 4pm)
Both Saturday morning and afternoon sessions will comprise of painting from the outdoor landscape, while being individually critiqued, (9am - 4pm)
Sunday morning, and afternoon's workshop will also consist of painting en plein air, and finishing with a group critique (9am - 5pm)

Plan on making two paintings a day. Panels should be primed using Raw Umber (think Mocha) base~ Please don’t hesitate to call or write if you have any questions..
