Plein air workshop 🎨🌳
Take your painting outside!
Instructor: Kim Hall
Saturday, May 17th & Sunday, May 18th
10:00 AM - 5:00 PM
Join Kim Hall on Saturday, May 17th & Sunday, May 18th from 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM for a Plein-Air Painting Workshop!
Take your artwork outside! This is for the painter that has had some studio experience but would like to try painting outdoors. Kim will discuss equipment options, using a limited palette, using a view-finder and thumbnail sketches, finding those big shapes, and deciding on a focal point. Learn to simplify a scene and edit for a good composition, how to work fast to capture those lights and shadows quickly before the scene changes, and how to have fun with painting and not take any of it too seriously! Mornings will be a demo followed by instruction, and the afternoon will be individual instruction with each student. Students should prepare for two studies (paintings) per day.
Please bring a lunch! We will take a break each day around lunchtime.
FOR AGES 12+
*Students are required to bring their own supplies.
The first day of this workshop will take place on a beautiful waterfront property on the Ware River.
The address will be given out after you sign up for the class.
The second day of this workshop will take place on Main Street.
MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR
My work is a joyful reaction to the everyday scenes that we might drive past or that stream of light coming through a window as it fleetingly touches on an object. I love the freedom of wandering those backroads and coming upon the perfect spot to pull over and set up my easel. It’s a good balance with the sanctuary of my studio, where I have can work larger, experiment and see where a painting will take me. I have spent much of my life in or around the water and that is reflected throughout my work. My intent is for a painting to be as much about the paint as it is capturing a scene. I really want the viewer to be able to find their own interpretation.
