The structure of this workshop is designed for the beginner, intermediate, and advanced student to improve their plein air oil painting skills. Students will explore painting from life in plein air in an Alla Prima fashion. Working on smaller canvases (pochades) with large brushes will help students focus on the bigger shapes of a composition. Emphasis will be put on simplifying a composition, values, edges, and color, and  to create paintings that have unity.
