Painting the Poetic Landscape Workshop with Heidi Marshall
Dates and Time: August 6th and 7th from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm
Workshop Fee: $425
This two-day plein air workshop with artist Heidi Marshall will concentrate on capturing the beauty of atmospheric light. Every mood and every weather condition holds an opportunity to understand and express light in a way that is highly individual and expressive. Learning to see and feel the scene is part one. It involves creating a quiet space within. Part two involves your medium and how best to use your materials to get the results you want. This class involves exploring. It involves experimentation.
