Taking the Fear Out of Plein Air Painting

When:       TBA,

Where:    William B Pond Park, end of Arden Way in Carmichael

Price:        $70

Rhonda Egan will be demonstrating in oil, painting with a palette knife. Clean up is easier, which is a benefit while traveling. Using the palette knife also helps to keep the painting fresh and unmuddied. Plein air painting forces the artist to simplify and get to the essence. With changing light, the artist must make quick decisions to capture the moment. It is exhilarating, demanding and will help you move to a new level in your painting.
In this workshop, you will learn to:
edit the intricacies of nature and find the simplified shapes for a powerful composition,
create rich color
work quickly
make rapid decisions
