Plein Air / Studio
"Painting outdoors is absolutely NOT like studio painting," says painter/instructor , Shelli Robiner-Ardizzone.
THIS IS FOR YOU - Studio painters who wish to challenge their comfort level and plunge into Plein Air in the best possible setting , with expert guidance .
There is nothing like being IN your painting - IN the physical world, IN the sun, rain, wind, fresh air IN the moment, and Totally INvolved. You cannot get the feeling unless you do it, and Shelli can help you find your way.
Learn the essentials of Plein air as Shelli Robiner-Ardizzone takes you through the basics of Color mixing with a limited palette, information gathering with quick studies, values and color clues, and extended studies on-site of gorgeous Maine Vistas.
This is a week of total immersion in Plein Air Painting techniques, group critiques, coastal Maine views, camera safaris, optional evening studio time in the excellent facilities of the Acadia Workshop Center, and local seacoast dining.
Students will learn to lighten their physical load, and pare down materials to essentials which will free them to better enjoy and paint in a variety of Maine coastal locations.
The mysteries of plein air will be revealed in this intense and wonderful learning experience.
All levels of plein air experience and painting welcome!
$550 per student
