About the Class:

Learn to create paintings filled with color, light, and expression! In this 2-day course, you will focus on how to examine a scene in order to capture its essential elements. Lynn will share her strategies to quickly establish a composition, mix correct color notes, and expressively apply paint.

Students will need to come prepared with a portable easel and the basic tools necessary for outdoor painting. A supply list can be found HERE.

NOTE: This workshop runs at the same time as the weekday painting session of Paint it Orange (Oct 2-4), so if you'd like to participate in the paint-out, be sure to register for the weekend painting session (Sept 27-29)!
