Watercolor Plein Air: 2 Day Workshop
"Closed on Mondays"
About the instructor: “Going with the flow” is what inspires Geoff. He loves the process of inserting himself into an environment or scene with the goal of capturing its elusive essence. This process began in college with an obsession with Street Photography. Succeeding in plein air painting relies both on being sensitive to the place, its beauty, challenges, distractions and light as well as allowing himself to be a filter. The mystery of not knowing the expressive outcome and allowing for discovery along the way makes plein air painting Geoff’s preferred art making process.
He received his MFA from Claremont Graduate University, Claremont, CA and taught drawing, design, and painting courses at the college level. Lives in the San Diego area and is a member of the San Diego Watercolor Society, California Art Club, National watercolor Society, and American Impressionist Society. Geoff is a Signature Member of the Laguna Plein Air painter’s Association. |
