Spend four days in an intensive study on how to train your eyes to discern light in the landscape. Although this is mainly a studio workshop, Barbara will discuss what to observe when painting outdoors from life (or simply gathering reference photos), and how to bring that knowledge into the studio. She’ll focus on how to “read” a reference photo and capture the genuine effects of various lighting situations in your studio landscape paintings, rather than duplicate a compromised photographic image. The workshop will cover a few different types of landscapes and various lighting scenarios, with one day focused on snow. On the first day, students will all work from instructor-provided photo reference for a specific exercise. For the remaining days, students may choose to work from their own photos or instructor-provided photos. Each day will begin with a demonstration, followed by student painting time in the afternoon during which students will receive plenty of individual guidance at their easel.
For those wishing to include some outdoor painting time along with this studio workshop, time will be allotted at least one afternoon, weather permitting. There are beautiful painting locations nearby either on the property grounds, or within about a 10-minute walk.
Students may work in oil or pastel, or alternate between both. Barbara will give equal demonstration time to both. This workshop is open to all levels, but those with at least some initial experience with their medium will benefit most.
