Plein air painting is a wonderful way to experience light, atmosphere, and the outdoors. Choosing what to paint can feel challenging, but your subject doesn’t need to be a grand vista; simply focus on what interests you. Begin with a quick, light pencil sketch to capture the main shapes, focusing on observation and speed. Then use light washes to block in the main areas of color. Start with the lightest values and gradually build depth and intensity while keeping your painting loose and spontaneous. If you run out of time or want to continue later, take a quick photo for reference. This workshop will take place at Stony Creek Beach. Please meet first at GAC, and class will move to the offsite location. This class has a required materials list.
