The workshop includes demonstrations, individual critiques, and lots of one on one attention. You will be guided in seeing and capturing the essence of a landscape with the use of value, scale, and color. With practical information on materials, and tips for optimizing the outdoor painting experience, it is designed to help you experiment and grow as a landscape painter.
