Plein Air Workshop 2019 - Patrick Saunders

WHERE: Maryhill Museum of Art, 35 Museum Road, Goldendale, WA 98020 tel:509-773-3733

WHEN: Friday, Aug 2, 9:00am - 4:00 pm

COST: $150

Learn to paint any subject, from the most simple to complex with one approach. During this workshop, we will use the landscape as our subject, but the same approach can be applied to a still life, portraiture, etc. The instructor will demonstrate the process of simplifying the subject and moving to finish as rapidly as possible in order to add more energy and excitement to your painting. Students will learn about composition, value, texture, color temperature and accuracy in paint application.

Oil and Acrylic painters of all skill levels are welcome to this workshop. Sorry, we will not be focusing on watercolor. Please come prepared with at least 2 of your preferred painting supports (canvas, panel, board, etc.) at least 9”x12” in size. A suggested materials list will be provided prior to the class.

Maximum 17 students. Each student is expected to bring their own easel (plein air set-up) and supplies (confirmation and supply list will be emailed to you upon registration).
