Instructor: Camille Przewodek
July 20th-24th, 9am-12pm
We will start out the first two days painting landscape on location. I will be teaching the structure of the landscape—what is important to include as well as what to leave out. On the last two days we will do color studies of the figure on the beach (in the Hensche/Hawthorne “mudhead” tradition). We will concentrate on the development of strong starts, and focus on expressing the big masses, light key and aerial perspective with color. I will be doing demos throughout the workshop. You will do at least one color study before lunch, followed by one or two color studies in the afternoon. You are encouraged to either bring original artwork or photos and talk to me about your vision as an artist. I look forward to working with each of you!
