Workshops
In this 90-minute class, I will be demonstrating how to use a palette knife to set up a working palette for efficient paint-handling in a limited amount of time. After premixing a substantial quantity of key colors, I will demonstrate how to mix with a brush while painting.

This two-day intensive workshop will focus on the two challenges of starting a painting outdoors, on location: composition set up and color mixing.
The first day we will discuss composition. I will take you through observational processes such as using a view finder to frame composition, establishing a tonal design, and using gesture to connect light across a scene.
The second day will be focused on the palette. We will organize a working palette that supports all your design decision. Topics will include using a palette knife to create large mixtures, using color to create space and atmosphere, and wet-into-wet brushwork.

The focus will be on making a strong start to a painting. You may produce a significant body of work in a short time. There will be a brief lecture at the start of each morning and afternoon session. The end of each day will include informal sharing and critique. Most of the workshop will be individual instruction. It will be very fun!

En Plein Air Painting
Experience the magic of Mount Desert Island as you paint En Plein Air. A basic review of outdoor set-up, palette organization, composition, and atmospheric color theory will be covered; however, most of the time spent together will be “hands-on” in the field with individual instruction at four select locations on the Island’s beautiful coves and shores.
The half-day sessions provide you the opportunity to work in the mornings with the instructor, leaving you the afternoons to continue to work independently and process the day’s lesson. Pack a lunch and paint all day!
