The laws of form and light
Outdoor painting is by no means an easy task. It requires equipment logistics, accommodation for weather, and most importantly an effective approach for producing a convincing beautiful painting. This class will focus on techniques not covered by most western artists and art institutions: how to combine the artist's visual impression with his/her knowledge of light and form. Further, this course will emphasize the importance of following a process that encourages creativity over copying, design over photography... let us paint as artists not as cameras! So join me for this unique learning experience. NOTE: Weather can be an issue therefore if I determine weather will inhibit our ability to achieve our learning goals the course will be cancelled or postponed with full refunds.
