SAM Workshop | Studio Plein Air with Jeanne Mackenzie | Friday – Sunday, May 23-25, 2025 | 9am – 4pm | Lunch Break at Noon
Fine tune those painting skills and take your studio outdoors. Plein air, ‘in open air’, painting can be a challenging venture. This fun studio workshop will help you loosen up and become more spontaneous with your painting while getting ready to tackle the outdoor landscapes. Often, we paint “plein air” style with a sense of bravado and then tighten up when we work from a photo inside. During this class we will use photo references while learning how to treat them as if painting a scene on location.
Through fun photo reference exercises, we will learn to…
- establish quickly, a great composition from the vast 360-degree options. nail down
- those basic and correct values in front of us.
- practice completing short color studies with colors that sing.
- identify what makes a great reference photo and how to take them.
While the demos and painting process will be in oils, mediums in acrylic and pastel are also welcome. This course is designed for all levels of art students.
$450/student for three days.
