Gary weaves a scientific understanding of light and color into his teaching segments. Students will glean a fresh understanding of how to render subject matter with an enlightened eye toward accurate and interesting compositions, shapes, values, colors, and edges. This course is tailored for intermediate painters and/or beginners with good drawing skills. Baughman is a patient encourager whose teaching style focuses on “making strengths stronger and weaknesses irrelevant.” Plein Air painting requires students to work rapidly in the alla-prima mode to capture the fleeting shadows and lighting as the sun moves across the sky. Baughman will daily demonstrate this method of working wet in wet and in one pass. He will give a gentle, positive critique at the end of each day.

Learn how to identify and accurately capture the most subtle color changes. Learn how to make fruit and other objects look 3-D.
