Robert Hoffman OPA     June 29 – July 5, 2008 (Five Teaching Days)
Landscapes: Oils, Acrylics and/or Pastels

Catch the spirit of painting on location. Capture the fleeting aspects of outdoor light. Learn how to quickly block-in using line, shape, value and color. Follow with hard and soft edges and real and apparent texture. Learn when to simplify and when to detail for a strong statement. Each morning we will meet in the studio for some group instruction but we will primarily work on location, weather permitting. The workshop will include daily demos and individual critiques. Emphasis in this workshop will be on using good design principles as a foundation for your paintings. Be ready to take notes as well as paint as this workshop is packed with useful information designed to help you grow as an artist. Work in the medium of your choice, pastel, oil or acrylic. Come prepared to learn and enjoy.
