This workshop will be held in several different locations in Tucson. The
focus of the class will be mixing color with a limited palette and seeing color in terms of warm and cool temperatures. Students will also study
composition and technique, learning to see the subject in large shapes with simple values, and applying the paint or pastel to get the desired effect. The subjects will vary from pure landscape to architecture of old Adobe street scenes and churches. Two demonstrations are given each day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. There will be no class indoors unless it rains. Students should expect to drive 15-30 minutes to the various plein aire sites. Portable easel and transportation are required. We recommend students select accommodations in Tucson.
- Oil painting (pastel and acrylic accepted)
