Light and atmospheric forces act upon the landscape to create a story, and it’s up to the artist to decide how to tell it. In this plein-air landscape workshop, Kathleen B Hudson will feature a presentation and full painting demonstration each morning with instructions on how to achieve this atmosphere in her paintings. Afternoons will be devoted to exercises for students focusing on value & composition en plein air with one-on-one instruction. 

Points of study will include:

• Reflections on the surface of still water

• Creating a sense of translucency

• Painting moving water—using brushwork to emphasize motion & direction

• Tips for painting water out of doors and getting good references for studio use

• Seeing as an artist: painting light rather than objects

• Planning your painting: envisioning your painting, using what you see & what you know, honing value and design, doing thumbnail sketches and/or color studies

• Stages of painting: drawing, block-in, color mixing, approaches to working a larger painting, refining texture & edges, tools for self-critique

• Experimentation: exercises you can do at home to continue your growth as an artist

• One-on-one instruction will be individually tailored.
