Introduction to Landscape Painting with Oils- October 25-27, 2019: This 2-1/2 day workshop will help both the beginner and intermediate oil painter alike feel more comfortable and achieve better results when working outdoors or en plein air. Site selection, equipment, view framing, value contrast, shadow shapes and form, composition, perspective, focal points and color mixing and application will be discussed and demonstrated.

This two-day workshop will delve into the theory and practice of linear perspective drawing as it pertains to the working artist. Eye level, vanishing points, position of view, picture plane, cone of vision, light and shadows, will all be discussed, demonstrated and practiced. 1 Point System, 2 Point Systems and 3 Point systems will be shown. 10 AM to 4 PM both days.

I love being outdoors. And when I can combine my love of drawing with being outside that is a very good day. During this two-day workshop, I cover the practical basics of drawing and using watercolor and gouache on location when creating an illustrated field journal.
