Plein Air Landscape with Mark Fernandez
Plein Air Landscape with Mark Fernandez
This workshop is for beginning and intermediate aspiring artists who want to develop the fundamentals of outdoor painting. The workshop focus will be on capturing the light and shadows and color relationships using a limited palette. Mark will start each day with a quick demonstration. He will discuss composition, equipment, and how to simplify the plein air process. Painting outdoors presents unique challenges but with a little guidance it becomes second nature. Colt State Park and Coggeshal l Farm will be the locations and we will learn techniques for painting trees, skies and land that will enhance your plein air paintings. Open to oil, water soluble oils and acrylic painters. Portable easel required (but a limited number available).
