Plein Air Landscape Painting

Plein air painting is a foundational part of training the eye to better understand the concepts of composition, design and color harmony. Join Ben on location as he encourages students to simplify their subject matter through the use of basic design, value, color and drawing skills. Instructor demonstrations and critiques are routine. Students will have the option to use gouache or oil paint.
Student teacher Andy Le will be coteaching this class with Ben.
