What To Expect: In this introduction to plein-air oil painting class, you will learn the basics of landscape oil painting in a beautiful Portland-area outdoor location.

You can expect that each class will consist of the following:

1. Basic setup for plein-air painting, including the easels, paint, and other supplies.

2. A short painting demo.

3. One-on-one support from me, the instructor.

You can expect to gain an understanding of

• Color mixing

• Applying paint

• Composition and value

Mindfulness tools will be used to help minimize inhibitions during the creative process, and a group critique will take place at the end of the last class.

The supplies list will be sent prior to the start of class, and if a make-up class cannot occur outside due to weather, it will be held via Zoom.
