Plein Air Painting in Oils
For
Beginning & Intermediate oil painters
Jan
Norsetter
In this workshop I will show you two different methods of approaching plein air painting. We will use
one for a morning painting and one for an afternoon painting. For outdoor painting I generally use a limited palette of colors.
I will show you how I manage my palette, what paint colors I use and how to mix colors using 7 tubes of paint (see supply
list below). We’ll talk about placement, shadows, lighting, painting to finish and clean up. I don’t
use solvents most of the time so I have developed strategies for handling paint using Gamblin Solvent free gel or M Graham
alkyd walnut oil and for cleaning my brushes with soap and water. Sat June 6, 9 - 4 $100/$5 materials

landscape and is a very portable medium so it is ideal for plein air painting—working directly from nature.
You'll complete two or three small works on different papers, provided by the instructor. Previous experience in soft (chalk-like)
pastel is highly recommended, but beginners with good drawing skills are welcome. Sun, June 7, 9 - 4:30

Experimental Watermedia Jacqueline Sullivan
Create
backgrounds with transparent watercolors by pouring the paints. Resulting in a loose, flowing, colorful wash that happens
naturally with this wet-into-wet technique. After learning the pouring technique, experiment further, create
unique, interesting papers using; rit dyes, pastel powders, salt, alcohol and more. Metallic textural elements may
also be explored. Once paintings are completed, students will use mats as view finders to find “sweet spots”,
small abstract framable paintings. In addition, ways to enhance and embellish these paintings will be demonstrated and discussed.
