Learn from an inspirational master painter with an
unerring eye for composition, value and color!
Fundamentals of drawing and color will be
reviewed in the first two days with an emphasis on
the perceptual skills required to advance your work
to the next level. The last three days will cover
painting with a focus on light in the landscape,
warm and cool light, and the principles of
atmospheric perspective. Expect to paint indoors
with occasional excursions outdoors to "see" the
light and the way light reveals the landscape at
different times of day. David will show you how to
bring home the information you need in your
sketches and photos, and how different sketching
mediums and techniques can facilitate developing
a dominant point of view and interpretation of your
subject. Bring samples of your work for review!
