1 Session | This is a half day (3-hour) workshop for plein air painters wishing to learn a confident approach to outdoor landscape painting in Autumn. Matt will demonstrate and provide one-on-one guidance toward painting a scene with fall colors.
Bring your own pochade painting box with tripod or plein air easel, along with paints, brushes, palette knife, odorless mineral spirits and paper towels. The session is geared towards oil painting, but students wishing to use gouache or watercolors are welcome to bring those supplies.
