Creating Atmosphere & Mood En Plein Air

Class Description

Learn to create atmosphere and mood in your paintings by making the most of value, color, and brushwork. The class will be divided into 4 sessions over 2 days. Our day 1 morning will include exercises such as Notan sketches and value studies to see the impact simple compositional and value choices can make. Day 1 afternoon we will put those exercises to use painting while we discuss how color harmonies and brushwork affect the mood of our paintings. On day 2 we will head out to the field. Group and individual instruction will be provided in each session.
