Landscape Oil Painting with Paul Bachem
 FOUR weeks • Tuesday mornings
September 5,12,19 and 26, 2017, 9:30 am – 12:30 pm
Fee: 160m/$190 nm

Hone the fundamental theories of landscape painting. Learn why your subject matter looks the way it does-the importance of being able to judge value (how light or dark an object is), hue (what color is it?) and chroma (how vivid or dull the color is). The assessment and placement of these three elements in your work is key to the realistic rendering of three-dimensional objects in the two-dimensional world of painting. Materials list provided at registration.

Does the idea of painting outdoors, en plein air, seem daunting? What kind of gear do I need? How do I select my view and compose my canvas? How do I even begin? Join multiple-award winning plein air artist Paul Bachem as he shares all of his experience with you during a one-day “Boot Camp” intensive in the studio followed by a day painting in the field.

Paul PaintingIn the morning Paul will go over the gear you will need for a successful day in the field, describe in detail his approach to plein air painting,  and do a demo at Elderfields employing the techniques discussed.

There will be a break for lunch, and students will paint at Elderfields in the afternoon while Paul moves from easel to easel offering suggestions and advice. There will be a critique and a time for questions at the end of the day. Day two will be in the field, at a site to be determined.

A materials list will be provided with suggested easel and other items, but please bring what you have.

Three painting days with Paul (in a variety of environments) will be arranged with dates to be announced. (There will be separate fees and registration for each day.)
