WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION: This class is for students new to plein air, as well as advanced plein air painters who just want to get out and warm-up for the season. Frankie will do short demos each day, reminding you how to look at the landscape and capture the essence of the scene. You will learn how the light affects the mood of the day and determines your color choices. Frankie will guide you in how to simplify and become more efficient using larger brushes, selecting just enough details so as not to clutter the impression. Frankie will help you focus on making a clean and exciting impact or statement in your plein air works. The workshop will cover various subjects and viewpoints in the landscape, giving you a broad experience base to build your plein air skill set and add variety to your paintings. |
