Do you have trouble with…

How to capture a scene quickly? How to create depth ? What colors to use? Getting stuck in the details right away? Then this workshop is for you!

Class Syllabus

During this concentrated study there is a rotation of demonstrations and student exercises geared around thumbnail compositions, simplifying elements in the scene and creating value sketches. A 4B or 6B pencil is a must have. The last half of the class is the study of local color and the rules of thumb for applying colors to capture depth in landscape painting.  Expect to make many sketches prior to creating color studies.  This is a techniques based class.  Be prepared to take copious notes that you will use over and over while building your plein air sketching and watercolor skills.

“Thank you for a thought inspiring, brain challenging re awakening!  You are a natural teacher, and I look forward to future Pam workshops!  Thank you for sharing your gift with us!”
