Plein Air Painting the Streets of Lancaster!
Why paint plein air?
Plein air painting gives us an opportunity to paint directly from our genuine lived experience.
As painters we become more deeply engaged with more natural and subtle color relationships, as well as learning from and anticpating the changing nature of the day as the sun moves across the sky. It’s an exhilarating experience that allows us to feel more deeply grounded and engaged with the world in front of us.
In this two day plein air workshop, participants will gain a soup-to-nuts overview of the plein air experience, from how and where to set up on the streets, to how to capture the beauty of the town, to how to create a harmonic composition and make a joyful painting.
We will work together to gain understanding of fundamental principals of painting, such as tonal relationships, color theory and harmony, perspective and composition.
I will be giving short demos each day as well as working one on one extensively with each participant!
