Spring 2020 Workshop

I'm looking forward to next year's New Harmony shenanigans...

Painting Representationally, Unconventionally

Medium: Oil

April 13-14, 2020 / 2-Day Plein Air Workshop 

9 a.m. - 4 p.m. CT

New Harmony Gallery / 507 Church Street / 812-682-3970

Description: Wyatt will share his ideas about plein air painting and demonstrate his typical approaches for creating paintings on location.  There will be a special focus on painting a variety of subjects quickly and loosely with confidence.  Wyatt will also offer creative solutions to common plein air pitfalls, including:  choosing uninteresting subject matter, driving around for an entire day searching for the "perfect scene", painting too small with a dozen different paintbrushes, spending an entire day trying to fix a painting that didn't work from the start, and limiting yourself to subject and style choices over-influenced by painting trends and the collector.  

Level: All levels welcome 

The class will be limited to 15 students.

We practiced "inventing" compositions during the Upper Schooner workshop.  It's sort of like telling a lie...but instead of feeling guilty afterward, you feel elated that your picture isn't a boring waste of paint.

These are two demonstration paintings from this weekend's workshop.  Larry Rudolech and I may have ruined plein air painting for everyone in attendance, but we yelled a lot and ate several sandwiches.
