Plein Air: Developing a strong foundation – Brett Weaver
May 17-19, 2012
This is a three day intensive workshop which will be held primarily outdoors. This course is perfect for the beginner as well as intermediate student, and is open to all levels.  Primary focus of the workshop will be on developing strong compositions and the importance of value, and color harmony and understanding your palette. We will focus on learning to see and paint shapes, color and value rather than specific objects. We will discuss the necessary tools and approach required for plein air painting. Use of the proper tools, preliminary study and strong composition are essential to achieving a successful painting.  Brett will be demonstrating on location at least two of the three days and then work one on one with each student to discuss personal development and goals.  Discussion will also include techniques for enhancing and touching up paintings back in the studio.  This course is designed to help the student build confidence and a stronger foundation in their work.
Cost: $375
