4 Day . Plein-Air Mastering the Landscape Light
Paris, Ontario Canada
Light is one of the most important things to capture in the landscape. Monet and Pissarro found out a way to do it. In this workshop I will try to help you see nature correctly. We will pay close attention to relationships, because landscape painting is mostly about relationships. I will show you that one must compare constantly value and color to capture the landscape light. By the end of the workshop you will have a deeper understanding how to do this.
Painting outdoors is challenging. Learning what to select and what to omit to make a strong design and statement while the light is changing is the goal. We will focus on learning the fundamentals of painting outdoors. Using a limited palette, each student will be taught the importance of composition, drawing, editing, color, and value.
Daily demonstrations are in oil and critiques are given everyday.
An evening digital presentation . A retrospective journey of Gabor's paintings. Plus a Q & A session where he points out how he uses his teaching ideas in his own works.
We will paint from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m daily.
Transportation needed.
The course will take place on the beautiful farm of artist Marsha Deans Edgar and the surrounding area. www.marsha.ca
