Prepare yourself for a plein air painting outing with this structured workshop exploring the landscape through pictorial reference and study of master works. Bring along photo images to spark your creativity as you interpret the pictorial references artistically. Strong emphasis will be based on composition and the use of thumbnail value sketches supporting glorious color harmonies. Any medium welcome small sketchbook, pencil, and eraser are all that is required. We will be sketching outside if the weather allows it.
