These once-a-week outdoor painting classes are always lots of fun. I demonstrate my techniques and offer hands-on instruction as we paint at beautiful locations in the Ojai Valley, studying the landscape on site. Painting outdoors provides many specific benefits. It improves our color recognition, simplifies our painting technique and helps us paint more efficiently in a condensed timeframe. It also provides one of the best ways to study the behavior of light in different situations. Throughout the sessions, we will review the importance of the fundamentals of painting: design, value, color and paint application (including edge handling, texture and brushwork).
I will ask each registering participant to mail me a check for the class payment. I will hold all checks until the week the class begins. (That way I avoid refunds if anyone has to cancel.)
