This workshop will focus on the tools and materials to paint successfully outdoors. We will go over all the gear I use and also cover composition and designing a painting that will draw the viewer into the scene. We will hit on some basic color theory and then go outside to put these principles into practice. I will do a demo on the day of the workshop so that you can see first hand how I approach starting and finishing a painting in one session. These demos will be an abrieviated version so that you will all have time to try your hand.

We will meet at the Pacific NorthWest Art School in the morning to go over subjects listed above and then drive to a location, probably Coupeville or Ebey’s Landing. There will be some walking with gear so you will need a portable easel and some thing to carry your stuff. My pochade and all I need to paint fits in a Kelty 65 back pack. Students in the past who do not have portable pocahde boxes have used a French easel and some type of cart to move gear into the field.

Lets go paint! =]
