Plein Air Landscapes in Oil
Location: Academy Art Museum, Easton, Maryland
Workshop
Dates: 5/11/2010 - 5/14/2010
Contact Person: TBA
For the past several years, I have been teaching weekend landscape painting workshops. The programs generally start on Friday evening with a PowerPoint lecture and orientation (complete with prepared hand-outs and sample materials), and are followed by two full-day painting sessions on location. I begin both days with a demonstration painting; by late morning students are working on their own, and I circulate among them offering suggestions and individual critiques. Most students work on a second canvas after lunch. We close the weekend with a wrap-up and group critique.
If the weather is really bad, we'll work indoors from studies or from photographs. I am careful only to choose workshop venues that offer quality rainy-day studio space.
The May 2010 workshop listed above will be hosted by the Academy Art Museum, in picturesque Easton, Maryland, on the Eastern Shore. Rather than my usual weekend workshop, this class will be a four-day mid-week program. It will adapt the weekend formula described above, with an additional day for painting in the field. I expect that all of us will benefit from the extra time to get to know one another, and to work on our plein air skills.
Please feel free to contact me directly if you have additional questions.

At the moment, Easton is the only class I have confirmed for 2010, although other workshop possibilities are in the works. And I may teach classes from my home studio and newly renovated barn annex. Check back again soon to see if other dates are added to the schedule.
