Workshop Concept: Introduce the longstanding tradition of painting “en plein aire”… the French term literally translates “in open air”… to children while teaching them some basic building blocks to capturing the landscape in paint. Students will be introduced to values, composition, linear and aerial perspective, and basic color theory while working with a limited palette of colors. They will practice the importance of thumbnail sketches, doing value studies, mixing color charts, and capturing a colorful landscape painting outside on location by workshops end. All materials for these exercises and paintings are provided by Art Expressions so the student need only supply the eagerness to learn and have fun.
