Imagine painting in fresh air surrounded by the beautiful lakes, forests, and mountains of Kamloops!
All skill levels are welcome to this 2-dayoutdoor painting workshop. There is a demonstration to start the creative juices flowing and then I coach and provide instruction by your side.
We start at 8:00am sharp to get the best light of the day! We paint at different locations around Kamloops so a vehicle is needed, or share a ride with another artist. We paint near our parked vehicles but your gear needs to be portable, bring a pull cart or backpack. The workshop closes at Mairi’s studio with a supportive critique of your achievements.
LEARN • How to make light effects • How to cover the canvas quickly • How to fit the scenery on a small surface • Using the right brushes • Adding Eye Magnets to make your painting sing • Add the power of a Central Focal Point to draw in the viewer • Experience the magic of warm and cool colours working together and more!
Mairi and Stefan wrote Stefan Baumann's Field Guide to Plein Air Painting and Mairi uses it in this workshop. (It is to your advantage to be familiar with its contents but the course can be taken without purchasing the book - select the other registration option [no book])
