Ojai, California Plein Air Painting Workshop
Posted on Wednesday, October 19, 2011, 2:40 pm
My first painting workshop here in the Ojai Valley was a success!
The participants and I started each day with a light breakfast at my gallery and a discussion about the fundamentals of painting. Afterwards we set out to paint for the rest of the day, each day in a different location. We ended up huddling in shady areas because of the 90-degree temperatures, but we still managed to paint some beautiful scenes and enjoy our time together. I demonstrated my painting technique in the mornings and then led the group in a step-by-step format as we painted during the afternoons. That way each person got to practice some good ways to “build” their paintings from start to finish. (My pictured painting Fertile Ground was one that I did along with the group during the workshop.)
Thanks to each participant for joining me for the workshop! I’ll be planning more classes and workshops in the coming months.
