An understanding of
subject in varying lights and atmospheric conditions will enable the painter to infuse their work
with energy and emotion. The abundance of visual data can be overwhelming to
the landscape painter and must be simplified at the outset. Therefore composition, light,
value, temperature and watercolor or oil technique will be essential elements taught
and demonstrated by the instructor. The late 19th century American schools of
"plein air" painting and their influence to landscape painters will be discussed. These three-day workshops are designed for students interested in the plein air style of watercolor or oil painting. The classes will be held outdoors working directly from nature in the historic gardens and on the waterfront of Annapolis. The first evening, students are invited to the artists studio and garden for a reception.
