Plein Air Workshop
TIM HORN: Bright Sun, Clean Color

9AM - 4:30PM

South Street Gallery, Greenport 

This 3-day plein air workshop is geared toward beginner/intermediate and intermediate painters, working in oil. The primary focus will be on how to convey the sense of strong sunlight in your paintings by clarifying and pushing the values. If you're out painting on a sunny day, that sense of light should be clearly communicated in your paintings, whether you're painting a boat, a figure on the beach or a building in the landscape. We will also work on achieving clean color in our paintings, and utilize value patterns to aid in developing successful compositions. There will be discussions on materials, scene selection and brushwork. Tim Horn will do a demonstration painting each day, and will work with students individually on their paintings throughout the day as we paint outdoors.

Workshop fee - $385. Workshop limit - 14. Materials list provided upon registration. Contact: 631-477-0021 or info@thesouthstreetgallery.com
