Course description: This is a one-week workshop (Sunday to Friday) a
full 5 days of painting and instruction.This workshop will focus on
plein air painting outdoors. We will work on location every day, weather
permitting. There will also be time for lecture information and
demonstrations. We will focus on several key points throughout the week:
understanding and simplifying shapes while balancing warm and cool
colors, laying down a foundation quickly while creating focal points and
developing the overall painting. Creating atmospheric perspective and
composition development will also be addressed and there will be plenty
of individual attention. Daily demonstrations are provided on how to see
shape and light values to paint all your subjects. In the evenings the
group will meet for critiques – to share information and view each
others accomplishments. Maximum enrollment is 15.
Materials: this workshop will be for those artists working in
watercolor, acrylic or in oil paints, since Andrew works in all three
mediums. Andrew focuses on giving individual attention to all students
