Richard McDaniel AIS, OPA, SMI, PSA    August 23 – 29, 2009 (Five Teaching Days)
Plein Air Painting in Pastel

This workshop concentrates on strong composition and lively color while examining the difference between working on location and in the studio. You will develop paintings from your impressions of the landscape. Richard provides easygoing, individual instruction. Through demonstrations and discussion we will consider various ways to plan a painting, apply color, and make adjustments to works in progress. Participants will learn about materials, technique, and composition, as well as gain a fresh understanding of color, value, and structure. Join us, you’ll work hard but you’ll have fun.
