The Magic of Plein Air Color Studies
IN PERSON. July 23-24, 2022.
Offered in conjunction with Driggs Plein Air Festival in Driggs, Idaho.
Playing with color is one of the surest ways to enjoy yourself, and to learn. The happiest your brain can be is when you’re “in the zone,” making up your own rules, and being truly engaged in the activity. Making color studies on location means that we back off the subject matter a little and see what’s possible within our chosen palette. Just writing this out makes me excited for this workshop! We’ll try a variety of palette combinations. I’ll show you some ways to expand your seeing (because if you see differently, naturally you’ll paint differently). The topic of color studies is meant as a welcome mat to learn what you can learn, not as a limit—sometimes a color study naturally reaches “finish.”
$300. Complete information, materials list, and registration at Driggs Plein Air.
