Come and spend an early summer weekend with Joanne Kollman. She will help you overcome fears and have fun while you are learning to see as a painter while mastering various levels of color mixing, value and temperature relationships, and expressive mark-making. Menucha's grounds will provide much to observe and paint. You'll be well-fed and comfortable in our accommodations.
Students will learn techniques to capture the fleeting light, composition & design studies and beginners will learn the basics of Plein Air painting.
The workshop will begin on Friday June 21 in the afternoon, and will conclude on Sunday at 11:00am. Students will have the opportunity to watch instructor demo and or paint along Friday late morning and Sunday afternoon.

Day 1 Composition in the Landscape from sketch to color study.
Day 2 Sunrise to Sunset Color notes and the big sky
Day 3 Optional sunrise painting, Breakfast, critique and check out.

Students will work from life on location or in or near the studio. Quick thumbnail design sketches will translate directly from life observation to painting.
Interpret what you see, understand your big idea, compose and paint!
Painting is about relationship. Learn to think in terms of pieces of paint, brushstrokes, & mark-making in paint application to express an idea.
Daily demo, instruction, individual help and critique.
Recommended materials: Gouache, Casein or Oil paint. Contact the instructor if you want to use watercolor or acrylic.
Presentation will cover the big idea, how that translates into a design, and then into a painting
