Albala, Mitch - Foundations of Plein Air on Whidbey - Jul 27-29

FOUNDATIONS OF PLEIN AIR PAINTING ON WHIDBEY ISLAND
Mitch Albala, Instructor
July 27-29, 2012

With beautiful Whidbey Island as our backdrop, this workshop explores the landscape painter's most essential skills: simplification and massing, site selection and composition, and color strategy.  Rather than adopt a rapid fire and sometimes rushed approach to plein air, this workshop encourages problem-solving, with special attention given to strong starts — proper site selection, establishing a strong composition through value placement, and color strategy.  With daily demonstrations and a combination of short exercises and free painting (in early morning and afternoon sessions). this is an ideal workshop for those with previous experience who now want to explore landscape and get a foundation in plein air.
