PLEIN AIR PAINTING IN THE SATURDAY & SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 13 & 14 ~ ALBUQUERQUE, NM
In this 2 day course, Michelle will teach the basics of outdoor landscape painting, based on the principles of the French Impressionists and what they taught artists about the visual world and how it works: clarifying light source direction, light/dark patterns, defining beautiful shapes & exciting compositions, assigning correct values, color temperature & how it can work for you; how to mix color with a limited palette, visual pathways & focal point, and how to capture the effects of light, atmosphere and mood with the medium of paint. This class will also help the painter who is well-grounded in the academics of Plein Air Painting, but who wants to clarify & bring forth their own voice & bring excitement & drama to their work. All painting mediums and skill levels are welcome. Michelle is a plein air oil painter residing in Taos, NM. She was featured in the June 2008 issue of Southwest Art Magazine in a special article on Plein Air Painting. She also teaches for the Taos Historic Museum Foundation every summer and is represented by 7 galleries throughout New Mexico, Colorado and Arizona. TO REGISTER, CALL HARWOOD ART CENTER: 505-242-6367
