with Richard Jordan
Two day workshop: Friday, August 28, and Saturday,
August 29, 2020
9 a.m. - 4 p.m. daily
$195.00
The old adage, “It’s not what you paint, but how you paint it,” is especially true when working en plein air. Fleeting time demands a shorthand approach, one that dissects a landscape into its simplest forms, then uses the power of suggestion to say more with less. Simply copying the scene is not the goal. An artist must strive to capture the mood of the landscape to have a meaningful work of art. In this workshop, Richard Jordan, director of the Plein Air Artists of West Michigan, will demonstrate the methods and artistry he employs to bring a plein air painting to life. He will give classroom and on-site demonstrations.
Artists will work on-location both days, where Richard will work individually with each artist.
MATERIALS TO BRING:
Students will provide their own materials. A supply list will be sent out prior to the workshop.
