This online course will deconstruct the elements of plein air painting to help students develop a versatile and methodic outdoor painting practice. Concepts covered will be: composition, choosing your subject, mechanics of working outdoors, structure of light in the landscape, and creating space with color. Students will work from photographs or master copies, and will be encouraged but not required to share work made outdoors. A great way to prepare for the plein air painting season, or to explore this rewarding subject for the first time. Class time will consist of demonstrations, slideshows, and critique. All demonstrations will be done in oil, but acrylic and gouache are also welcome.
