De-mystifying Landscape Painting: Learn a clear process for both plein air & studio landscapes
Adult Classes | Available
This artist workshop led by Megan Euell aims to provide participants with a clear and structured approach to creating beautiful landscape paintings in a studio setting.
Workshop Highlights:
• Demo and personal instruction: Euell will explain and demonstrate the process she has used for over 15+ years, both through lecture and examples of her paintings. Participants will each work on one painting during the workshop, with individual critiques through out.
• Outdoor Inspiration: The workshop will utilize a reference image provided by Euell -allowing artists to best understand the demonstration of the same imagery and connect with nature indoors through observation of value, color and atmosphere.
• Skill Building: Focus on fundamental skills such as compositional drawing and design, color theory, and ultimately brushwork- all essential for successful landscape painting.
• Creative Interpretation: Teaching artists to not just replicate but interpret landscapes, emphasizing personal style and expression.
• Supportive Environment: Each session fosters an encouraging atmosphere for sharing ideas, techniques, and feedback, enhancing the learning experience.
This workshop is perfect for both beginners looking to understand the basics and more experienced artists seeking to refine their skills in landscape painting. Open to using Oil paints, water based Oil paints and Watercolor.

The easel I use the most is linked here: **Easels will be provided by TAG
great for plein air and travel: Easel-Camera Tripod- I’ve been using this easel for the last few years, great to travel with, as it collapses quite small. NB, if you opt for this, you will also need the Leder Easel (linked next), which essentially is a mast/holder for your panel, and has a support for your palette box
Leder Easel attachment- goes with Camera Tripod to hold palette
