LAST Plein Air Painting Art Workshop in Niagara for 2013

Posted by: J R Baldini

Plein air painting is a different experience than studio painting. The environment engages all the senses to record the essence of what\\\'s before you.

You learn to work much more quickly to engage the changing light and most often you work alla prima.

Each day starts with a morning demonstration and lecture. The demo will focus on bold composition with underpainting.

You will learn how to make quick decisions and simplify for the most impact. We will discuss Color relationships, detail, form and edges

Put the brakes on and learn to \\\'bake the cake\\\' before you apply the frosting (accents)

Participants will then paint until we break for lunch

Lunch is on your own ( you are encouraged to brown bag your lunch on location)

During lunch, we will critique works in progress.

Participants are asked to start a second painting for the afternoon session so it is suggested to work no larger than 12x12

Supervised painting until 4 pm each day

This workshop is focused on making you a faster and better painter, capturing the essence of the landscape
