Join us in this one day workshop as we explore the benefits of painting from a reference photo (instructor provides the photo) and plein air sketch. From that photo we will create small sketches leading us to a larger finished piece. Combining all the important elements needed to create a successful painting, students will focus on composition, values, brush and line work. Karen said: Painting the landscape from life has been the most rewarding of my time spent as an artist. Taking my plein air pieces and reference photos from that experience to the studio and creating larger pieces to share with my collectors and galleries is another of the great joys I have found in this artist life.
