Description
Plein Air Painting Sessions, with Amanda Hawkins
Sessions will be held on Tuesdays (10am-1pm), from May 31 through June 14. Individual locations for each session are TBD.
Held at various outdoor locations in and around Cambridge, this workshop uses the landscape as a way to enter the language of abstraction and the world of plein air painting. Each guided plein air session will use the surrounding landscape of the New England springtime as inspiration to explore relevant topics such as expressive mark-making, composition, color relationships, and value differentiation.
The class will begin with several drawing exercises to assist artists in locating a composition, loosening up, and identifying value structure. Artist will then begin to engage their canvas using direct painting techniques. Each artist will aim to create a painting in the alla prima technique (wet into wet), with the goal being to finish the painting by the end of the painting session.
