			Landscape Painting in Santorini October 6-13, 2010 (sessions daily) — In Plein Air capturing the moment and the feel of the location is both challenging and fun. Instruction for all students at their easel will be ongoing throughout the week. Most days will include a demo, with emphasis on composition, the use of color harmony, interesting positive and negative shapes, and creating rhythm in a painting. We will learn to choose a focal point and keeping it strong throughout a painting while learning to subordinate excess information. Design is a most important concept and will be at the core of a good painting, it is my goal to help each student move toward good design in each painting.
