PLEIN AIR "TUNE-UP" - by Kirk McBride
Plein air painting can be overwhelming: dealing with the elements, changing light and selecting subject matter call all create barriers from creating a successful painting.
Kirk McBride will demonstrate how to organize yourself, your painting gear, and your thought process to make plein air painting a more enjoyable and successful experience. Topics will include choosing and simplifying subject matter, compositions that work, organizing your easel and palette, watching your value relationships and following a consistent step by step process in making a painting.
