Learn to use photographs as inspiration and reference for making a finished abstract painting. Using limited color palettes, students learn to simplify shapes and colors to create an abstracted piece from 1 or more photo references. The aim is not to feel limited by re-creating the photo, but to learn to see beyond what is in the photo and take off from there into their own creative journey.

This workshop will equip you with the skills and knowledge to break free from photo references and create artworks that resonate with the light and atmosphere of plein air painting. We will move beyond simply copying photographs & instead focus on creating painterly and convincing watercolors that capture the essence of plein air work. The key to this transformation is learning how to paint light rather than just rendering objects as they appear in the photo. As a professional artist, understanding how to paint light is what sets you apart.
