One of the great epiphanies on the artistic road is the realization that we
are painting light, not things. We leave the comfort of our studios in an attempt
to learn this lesson. If you can paint light, you can paint anything under
the sun. This class will focus on the essential challenge of plein air painting:
the ability to see light, to simplify and organize the subject matter, and
to present it in a simple and straightforward manner. The class is open to
artists of all levels. The goal for
the class is to put the student on a path that is self-sustaining, where an
ever-increasing visual understanding will begin to drive your painting technique,
and not vice versa. The confidence to react spontaneously to nature is your
birthright as an artist.
