For Advanced Beginners through to Intermediate & Advanced students.
Join award-winning artist and popular instructor, Jill Carver, in this five-day plein-air painting workshop. Jill will focus on teaching you how to break down the process of producing a painting into its core components - identifying a motif, selecting a design to complement that motif, identifying main masses, observing and mixing accurate color and value, establishing a focal point, and effectively applying the paint. The first two days of the workshop will be spent 'tuning in' to the landscape through value and color studies in the field, with the remaining three days being spent on design, editing and interpretation. Included in the last day's discussion will be plein-air painting's relationship to working in the studio. Jill will complete demos each day as well as offer advice on an individual basis in the field. There will also be group critiques at the end or beginning of each day.

Plein Air Painting - The 'Bigger' Picture
$550.00
Location: Bozeman, Montana
Workshop
Dates: 6/25/2012 - 6/29/2012
Contact Person: Linda Williams
This 5 day workshop will examine why observation and study direct from nature is so crucial in our development as artists. However, it will endeavor to put ‘plein air painting’ ‘back in its rightful context i.e. that plein-air painting is, more than anything else, about ‘learning to see’ and being a dedicated student of nature – it is NOT necessarily about producing a finished product onsite. It is about being effective ‘hunter gatherers’ and making astute observations about the land and light.
We will complete various exercises on site that will enable us to see value more accurately and make us see in terms of shapes of color and dark and light patterns rather than ‘nameable’ objects. Learning to see and think differently will very much be the theme of the week. The first day will include a morning lecture on ‘why’ we paint , finding our own voice and tuning in to the mindset of being a good student no matter what level of ability we have. The last day’s lecture will include thoughts and ideas on developing location studies into studio paintings. We will discuss refining motifs and composition, as well as the relationship between outdoor and studio work. Group cirtiques andbrainstorming sessions will very much be a part of the week. A special rate has been secured at the Holidsay Inn for those who require lodgng - contact Linda Williams for details. Evening group dinners will be encouraged.
Level: Advanced Beginner to Advanced Student.
Students will be expected to have experience at outdoor painting .
Class size: max 16
