En Plein Air Painting Workshop Intensive
Hosted by:
Date and time: June 22, 2013, 10-3pm
Back by popular demand! Join us for another round of En Plein Air Painting Workshop Intensive with Stephen Fox. Response to the recent workshop, from both seasoned artists and beginner students alike, was overwhelmingly positive; "...He's a great teacher and has a totally different approach to teaching landscape that was so creative and exciting..." In Stephen's words: "the subtext to the workshop is 'trust in layering,' that the natural properties of oil and acrylic paint can be taken advantage of to eliminate the stress of 'getting everything right' all at once." One look at his students' work will attest that this method gets results!
