Preparing to Paint the Landscape en Plein Air with Barbara Thomas

Monday, August 8 from 1 to 3 pm, Online via Zoom

In this single-session Zoom workshop, instructor Barbara Thomas will lead students through the rudiments of landscape painting: composition, light and shadow, how to create distance, and specific techniques for clouds, trees, grass, water, and other landscape elements. 

Open to all artists who want tips on painting outside, this class will be a preparation for the Plein Air Landscape taught by Barbara later in August on location in Rockland. 

Open to 14 online students, beginner to experienced.
