Establishing a strong start to Plein air painting is vital to the end result. Early decisions affect nearly everything that follows either in a positive or negative way. With a solid beginning an artist can truly enjoy the process of painting because the “bigger issues” have been addressed ahead of time.
If you feel you’ve been treading water and would like to push your Plein air skills to another level, here is an opportunity to learn from an artist with over 20 years experience painting exclusively en Plein air. This workshop will help you face nature head on with confidence!
Artists will work on-location both days, where Richard will work individually with each artist.
