A shorter workshop to brush up on your plein air confidence or
for the tentative or artist who hasn't yet ventured out to paint outdoors.
Why would you venture out into the real world to paint!
There are many popular art tours happening all over the world, offering to enrich travel and share the experience of painting together. This workshop is for artists who are uncomfortable with the concept of painting on site. They may feel exposed, inadequate or simply frustrated with their results. Or maybe they just want to feel more prepared, know what to carry or become more practised. This is the time to learn how to choose, set up and capture the scene. Bring your preferred medium - pastel, acrylic watercolour or sketch.
We will paint on site, then bring our work back to the studio to assess results and decide what the next step might be and the possibilities of improving. It will aim to sharpen your decisions in all stages and help you to relax with the process. We will learn thing to do and not to do to improve the experience.
