Through Joe’s structured, ‘prismatic palette’ approach, make sense of the layered information nature offers, and effectively freeze an effect of light on the landscape. Concepts to be covered include framing out an effect of light; structuring an underpainting; working in close, clean values; employing practical pictorial construction; memory training; and how color is affected prismatically by the angle of the sun and prevailing atmospheric conditions.

The workshop begins with a lecture presenting a structured approach to the landscape and capturing the poetry of the day. Learn to imply detail with an economy of brushstroke and color. You will create two plein air studies daily, with frequent critiques throughout each day. Embrace “the honesty and utility of ordinary things, the glory of nature as it is, not as we might want it to be.”
