Description

Discover the art of plein air oil painting in this engaging Lunch & Learn session. Explore essential gear, smart strategies, and the fundamentals of strong composition—from large value shapes to subtle details. Learn how atmospheric perspective influences color, value, and edges, and why value matters most in mixing local color. Gain practical tips on brushwork, layering from thin to thick, and creating luminous light and shadow. We’ll also cover finishing touches like when to add details, plus guidance on signing, varnishing, and framing your work. Perfect for beginners and experienced artists alike.
