Michael Chesley Johnson
The Maine Landscape in Pastel or Oil

In this plein air workshop, Michael will focus on fundamentals for painting outdoors -
how to begin, how to proceed and how to finish. He'll show you how to capture the moment quickly and effectively but without sacrificing mood and magic. The workshop will include demonstrations, plenty of time for student work plus group critiques.
Michael gives personal attention at the easel, complete with helpful tips and suggestions.
Both oil and pastel will be demonstrated.
