WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
The idea of this workshop is to give instruction on the process of painting Plein Air which is a French name for working in open air. There are several logistical elements that crop up while working in the elements, or painting from life, even indoors. I hope to share some of the tricks of the trade that I have gathered over the years, and help make the experience more productive and pleasant. Painting is not easy but there are ways to simplify the process in action and thought. There is also a different approach to the actual painting and choice of subject matter. The best way to fix problems in painting, is to not let them happen in the first place. The aim is to paint quickly and efficiently producing small works that are complete in one or two sessions. This approach applies to painting in general and not just Plein Air work.

These dynamic and fluid mediums will lead you on an exciting journey in this class. Not only will you learn basic skills in watercolor, acrylic and mixed media, but how to utilize the paint and explore additives and tools used to manipulate surfaces for interesting applications. We will discuss color theory and compositional structure as we conduct small material experiments and then carry them into our paintings. If you are looking to loosen up, and find your inner improvisational artist within, take this class with Ashley of paint and innovative strategies.
