“Inside Out”-Plein Air/Studio

Bill Farnsworth will teach a four day Plein Air/ Studio Oil painting workshop. The first day students will paint with just black and white to explore the value patterns of the scene they intend to paint. The second day the class will work with a limited palette to explore color temperature and color harmony. The next two days students will paint in the field and learn how to choose, edit , and create a painting full of light.  Every morning Bill will paint a step by step demo to show students the importance of drawing/shapes, Values and edges.

Plenty of individualized instruction.
