Only two spots left for 5-day workshop

Breathtaking views! What else can you say about this wonderful location. Simply one of the most spectacular places I have ever painted.

Each time I paint my goal is to capture the particular mood of the moment and to express myself in a bold and colorful way and while capturing the beauty and spontaneity of nature. Putting passion and emotion into a painting is far more important then just making a copy of your subject.

If you have similar goals and want to learn to fill your canvases with color and boldness then this class may be for you.

Depending on your level and goals we will try to develop a program for improving your ability as a painter.

Some of the things we will cover are:
• Stroke angle and how it affect depth in thick loose strokes
• Properly holding a brush to ensure you have limitless possibilities with your strokes
• Brush speed
• Time management and capturing the moment: The question most often asked is “how do you deal with the changing light”. We will cover efficient ways of painting so you dont waste strokes or motions.
• Forget formulas and learn to “SEE”: Learning see nature as paint.
• Color temperature
• Harmony

Each day will end with a group critique.

My goal as an instructor is to give my students the foundation necessary to express themselves.
