WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION: This class is for newer students getting started in plein air painting , as well as advanced plein air painters who just want to get out and warm up for the season. Frankie will do a short demo each day, reminding you how to look at the landscape and capture the essence of the scene. She will show how the light affects the mood of the day and determines your color choices. She will discuss how to simplify and become more efficient using larger brushes, selecting just enough details so as not to clutter, and how to make a clean, exciting impact or statement. We will cover various subjects and viewpoints in the landscape.
