2-Day Workshop: Monday, August 10 and Tuesday, August 11
Susan Anderson, Professional Plein Air Artist
Learn the basics of plein air painting. This workshop covers set-up, thumbnail sketches, composition, color mixing using a limited palette, blocking in of shapes, color temperature and light and shadow patterns. Prior oil painting experience preferred.
Each morning will start with a demo. Students will then paint in the garden areas and receive individual attention. Students will create plein air studies using smaller panels that can be used as reference material for creating a larger studio painting.
Plein air painting is the fastest growing area of art happening across the globe.
There are more plein air painters now than ever before. Art lovers and art buyers are also taking up plein air painting. If you enjoy painting and also love being outdoors this is an opportunity to do both in our beautiful Garden.
Be sure to check out the Supply List to be best prepared for class. No supplies are included.
Susan Anderson Fine Art: Susan is an award winning artist who enjoys plein air painting in Wisconsin during the summers.
Please register by Noon on Friday, August 7.
