Oil or Acrylic

Painting outdoors, is to be surrounded by nature, color and light. In the tradition of the impressionist masters. It is also the best practice possible to achieve excellence in the art of painting. Because the light is changing, one learns to place each stroke with intention, resulting  in a fresh and painterly impression of a beautiful moment in time. 

Beginning with an informative demonstration Shauna will show you how to see the world in terms of shadow and light, simplifying the landscape to the most basic masses and values. With specific, individual instruction you will learn the “what, why, and how” of a successful painting. You will learn to see the world in a new way, and even more, how to give yourself the gift of confidence.
