This plein air course introduces students to working directly from observation in the landscape through both drawing and painting. Students will explore composition, value, light, and atmosphere while developing a personal approach to translating the outdoor environment. Through demonstrations, guided exercises, and individual feedback, the class supports all levels in building confidence and fluency in both mediums.

All workshop days will be spent in the field (weather permitting).

SPECIAL NOTE: Instructor will provide students information regarding class locations prior to the start of class.
