Pleinair Painting Workshops
Spend a lovely day outside learning how to paint!
Every first and third Saturday of the month from 1030hrs until 15hrs, I will be holding a pleinair painting workshop, a whole evocative Pleinair painting experience!
Things we will cover:
We will discuss pleinair painting equipment
how to focus in on a strong composition,
define your values,
identify your light source,
create a point of focus, and
how to see and use color on pleinair
We will have dynamic demos, group critique, and personalised one-on-one feedback while you paint. I will be using oil painting as my painting medium, with a tripod and a painting easel. I paint on oil painting paper due to its portability.
I would recommend you to get the following materials if you don’t have them but you are welcome to work with your own preferred medium as acrylics, watercolours or gouache.
