Plein Air Workshops:
Keith Thirgood leads these 7-hour long, practical workshops on the art and practice of painting en plein air. (It sounds better in French.)
- As this is plein air, the workshops will be held out of doors. (See below for rain day information.)
- You will learn techniques for simplifying the visual chaos a live scene presents.
- You will learn how to compose a live scene.
- You will practice reducing the scene to values.
- We start with an introduction to modern colour theory and how to mix with a simplified palette. Floowed by a discussion of some of the practical aspects of plein air painting and learn some “tricks” for making plein air easier.
This gives you a good start in the art of plein air painting. And gives you grounding in plein air before you went off into the wilderness on a a bigger plein air event, such as one of our retreats.
