This workshop is designed for all levels- all mediums welcome. Ann will be working in oils.
We will meet in person and/or via zoom on the 14th to go over equipment required as well as expectations for the course.
The 24th and 25th will be full days of painting outdoors – come prepared for all types of weather. We are planning to paint at a winery the first day and lakeside scenery the second day. Each day will start with a brief talk and a demo, from choosing your subject matter to laying in the groundwork of your painting. Afterwards each participant will be setting up and painting en plein air, with one-on-one instruction and help from Ann.

June 3 and 4, 2023 10:00 am – 4:00 pm
This workshop is all about trees, starting with what to look for in your photos to create a good composition. We will focus on the importance of the shapes and the values when starting your painting; creating a pleasing composition; blocking in the big graphic shapes; blocking in the shadows; portraying trees in the distance; dealing with clusters of leaves and the colour of bark
On the first day I will be guiding everyone through a simple painting of trees , from start to finish. We will also be doing some colour studies and simple charts of greens. I will be talking about what colours to use for shadow greens, sunlit greens and greens for distance.
The second day will be your choice of photo reference. I will have lots of photos for everyone to use if you wish.
