Please join artist Lynda Colbeck for a discussion of the challenges of painting outdoors, some approaches to make it more fun and how to make outdoor painting a part of your learning process. Lynda will demonstrate a few possible approaches to get a good start on a painting.
=0D=0A=Some of the ideas we will discuss to make outdoor painting less stressful and more fun: 1. how to reduce the natural self-consciousness most folks feel and some ideas on how to deal with the fear of being "on display" 2. how to streamline your gear and paint palette to make it easy to carry, set-up and utilize in the field 3. how to simplify a scene and define your goal to make the venture successful (even if the outcome turns out to be a "scraper") 4. how to create preliminary steps before the brush ever touches the canvas to determine what you are painting and why 5. and lots more information.
=0D=0A=Please bring your ideas and approaches along to share with other plein-air painters or for those you are interested in getting outdoors! This is part of an Artist in Residence program with the Township Community Arts Council and the English Inn.
=0D=0A=Telephone Lynda at 250.390.1883, the English Inn at 250.388.4353 or email me at lcolbeck@gmail.com to reserve a spot.
