About this class:

This two day workshop will focus on painting landscape studies from life and learning how to simplifying shapes and values while in the field. 

​

Workshop will include:

• classroom instruction 

• Painting outside (en plein air)

• Demonstrations

• Personal critiques. 

 

Time spent painting outside will be in northern Utah County. There may be a little walking involved so having proper shoes and easily portable equipment will be important.

​

Supports:

• I make my own boards by rolling gesso on masonite or aluminum boards. Small sizes  ( 5x7, 6x8 etc.), or larger boards (9x12 etc.) taped off for smaller studies. Use something that is not expensive since we will be doing simple studies.
