While I strongly encourage the students to observe my demonstration, they will have theoption to paint along side of me."

Thinking Abstractly For Realistic Paintings

Oil, Monday -Thursday,

June 13-16   9am-4pm $495  

In this 4-day plein air workshop, you will learn that we paint most realistically when we are thinking abstractly. Learn how to reduce the charming scenes of Chatham to a collection of abstract shapes that, when put together correctly on the canvas, convey the impression of reality. Simplification, editing, re-designing the scene when necessary,  attention to light source, and painting quickly will be stressed. A limited palette will be used and much attention will be paid to value. The instructor will demo each morning for the group and will offer individual instruction to each student several times a day. By the final day, students will be able to insert convincing figures into their compositions  and approach any subject with confidence.

During this class you will learn techniques for painting quickly and accurately. You will concentrate on identifying the big
relationships within your painting. English will demonstrate
each day exploring key
elements including  gesture, value, color and structure. Working from the model, both in the studio and en plein air, students will be encouraged to capture the figure quickly and can expect to paint numerous small studies each day.h confidence.
