Peggy Burkosky will simplify perspective & values to alter mood in street scenes • Eliminate distant details to bring drama at the focal point. She will present an orientation demo in watercolour at base camp meeting tent: Thumbnail sketches for good composition, focal point, drama, source of light, palette; basic one point perspective for simple street scene; move to location.
Dan Gray will first demo his approach to painting the shore line. He will define his techniques moving from looking at the big picture into detail. He will work with soft pastel, however, students can bring their own medium and apply the principles to their own work.
Mark Glavina will help students simplify their Plein air painting process, regardless of their experience level or chosen medium. Mark will offer students a strategy for breaking down their subject matter, developing strong and dynamic compositions and simplify their painting process by analyzing the 5 basic elements of visual communications.
David Goatley will begin with a demo, “I will talk about what I am observing (light, tones, textures), simplifying, my choices of palette, composition, and all the little decisions I’ll make as I go along. I will be working in oil, likely with a little alkyd medium to speed drying, in an allay prima technique that also works for acrylic painters.”
Prepare yourself to paint for the Grand Prix d’Art En Plein Air painting race on the next day: July 28 Students receive a 20% reduction on Grand Prix d’Art entry fee at time of class registration.
