Everyone loves to painting outdoor, but very few folks know what makes a good or better yet a great landscape painting.
Anyone can paint outdoor but are you getting the result you are looking for....

This Workshop will focus on the fundamentals of outdoor painting, traditional landscape composition and efficient painting procedures which allow the artist to capture light, color, shape, value, atmospheric perspective and textural control necessary to create well organized, "readable "plein air paintings.
Plenty of individual attention will be given to each student.

Do you know what a good landscape painting is?

Do you know how to get the color harmony of the day?

What makes a good landscape design?

Who are the great landscape artists to study?

Outdoor landscape painting is not new, but I can tell you from experience, that 20 years ago very few artists in this area were painting outdoors.

There were no painting groups, plein air workshops, outdoor paints, this phenomenon came to light in this particular area due to marketing.
