Workshop Outline:
This workshop will take place on the Biltmore Estate. Students will be
immersed in the charm of this european like setting. The structure of this
workshop is designed for the intermediate student (drawing and oil painting
experience a must) to improve their plein air oil painting skills. Students will explore
painting from life in plein air in an Alla Prima fashion. Working on smaller canvases
(pochades) with large brushes will help students focus on the bigger shapes
of a composition. Emphasis will be put on simplifying a composition, values,
edges, and color, and to create paintings that have unity.
