The only prerequisite Is your interest in color and a personal connection to nature.

Simplification of color choices in response to harmonies on the color wheel is the focus of this two day workshop. Working with these colors will help students create vibrant pastel paintings on a variety of surfaces. The class will also look at color in terms of saturation,
neutralization, and gradation of value. The focus is on both structure and concepts and loosening up.

Rather than emphasizing composition, students will discover how a specific scene is a template onto which one’s interior vision is projected. In welcoming the world of the imagination – in seeing the way a child sees - participants will discover how a tree, a cloud or even a shadow is sending them a very personal invitation. Through exercises and examples, each member of the class will look deeply, explore the interior vision hidden within the visible image, and find the mystery and personal magic in the landscape.

I will not be teaching how to “copy” what is seen, but I will offer guidance and feedback on
principles that facilitate the illusion of depth or the intensity of a flattened space with intriguing
figure ground relationships.

​Bring your own photos that you want to work from.
​
Students of all levels of experience are welcome to join the class.
