Instructor: Gwen Waring
Date/Time: Saturday, August 10, 3-6 pm
Location: Buffalo Park
The first class in this plein air workshop series. The course will examine and study our local landscapes through painting, to work on learning to see. With luck, there will be clouds, though the lovely setting with be wonderful to consider, too. Though this class is offered as part of a series, you can choose to sign up for one or both of the workshops.
This late afternoon session will include painting in the prairie at Buffalo Park, with a beautiful view of the Peaks. We will meet at the Buffalo Park parking lot. Plan on carrying a simple rig: paints, brushes, sketch pad, paper towels, a small stool or chair, and snacks. Be prepared for a little walking, as we will walk a few hundred feet once we arrive at the park.
This will be a general session, with a few warmup exercises to gain perspective, then a consideration of these landscapes, through painting, using the medium you provide, watercolors, pastels, acrylics, oils, etc. I will provide pastels. All mediums can be used with a recommended sketch pad, while a few heavier pieces of paper, including cardstock, can be used, too.
