Description

This workshop is an excellent opportunity to use your own photo images to compose a painting. You will also be working from life, the best teacher there is.  Day 1 will be on location at McHardy's Horse Farm, where we will have plein air demonstrations and opportunities to paint and take photographs for future reference.  Day 2 will be at Barrie Art Club Studio continuing to learn how to integrate reference photo images into our plein air paintings.

• Learn to use multiple images and how to combine them to make an original composition.
• Painting plein air and learning from nature helps grow a visual library for the plein air and studio artist.
