Students will select a scene to paint each week and assistance will be provided regarding the plein air process, how to identify correct values, setting up the composition, color choices, and achieving 3-dimensional qualities in the painting. The instructor will provide optional quick demonstrations to illustrate particular points. We will explore strategies to make plein air painting simple and manageable, with a particular focus on creating atmosphere and perspective in the landscape. Strategies explored will include relative values and colors as they come forward and recede and linear perspective.

Every landscape includes at least some of certain elements – sky, clouds, ground, trees, mountains, and fabricated structures.  This class will focus on what to expect from each of these structures and how to “see” them accurately.  We will then translate that “seeing” to the canvas.
