Outdoor Oil Painting for Beginners

Description

Do you enjoy immersing yourself in nature and developing an outdoor oil painter's vision? Kelly is passionate about both and sharing her enthusiasm for capturing the landscape on location. Kelly will demonstrate her simplified approach including setting an intention, composition, and color temperature. After each demo, students will practice the approach on their own. The last day will include a final group critique. As the French call it "plein air" will accelerate your studio painting skills quicker.
