Plein Air painting classes

To successfully paint out-of-doors is an exhilarating experience, yet it requires knowledge, preparation, and training to read nature’s ever-changing moods and interpret them for others to enjoy.

Classes are taught on location, and instruction is offered in both oil painting and soft pastel.

Here are a few of the topics that we will explore:

  • The sketch, the study, and the painting
  • Elements of composition in plein aire painting
  • Keys to understanding the sea
  • How to start/when to stop
  • Planning and spontaneity
  • Getting to the point, and what to ignore
  • Dealing with changes in light and color
