In this 2-day workshop we will focus on painting quick studies outdoors on location, and we will emphasize priorities like: clear notation, sensitivity to color and tone, editing, abstraction, surface, light, authenticity of response, willingness to fail, and most of all, tuning in to the deep beauty of what we are looking at, by slowing down and painting. Our location will be along the Russian River near Healdsburg, with views of the river, the mountains, and the surrounding hills and vineyards. This class is open to all levels but is best for intermediate to advanced painters, ie: those with at least a few years of experience and practice.
