Join me for a day of plein air painting, all levels and abilities are invited. Artists are encouraged to work in any medium they are conformable with. This class is not specifically about medium but rather about the concepts and techniques that are universal to Plein Air painting.
Bring your easel, your painting supplies and a painting surface. Helpful to have a sketchbook, paper and pencil. This will be a one day event so consider the size you will be working on.
Each session will be 3 hours with a demo, individual instruction and critique included. Please bring a snack, water and a hat.
I am drawn to landscapes, capturing and preserving the views that have been seen over the years by so many. On location I work in pastels. I focus on that specific time of day. The time of day changes the light, the color, the atmosphere: it changes everything. Pastels afford me the use of pure pigment. The mark each pastel makes directly from my hand to the surface is exciting. In my studio I create with encaustic, based on my Plein Air experiences. Working with molten wax and fire has energy and spontaneity. Whether in the studio or on site each painting is a challenge to record a moment in time.
