WORKSHOPS - JUNE 11-19, 2010
Primitive Pottery Workshop - Friday, June 11 to Sunday, June 13

Plein Air Painting - Sunday, June 13; Saturday, June 19
Instructor: Anne Weiler-Brown
Bring your paints and portable easel for a day of observation and painting in plein air.
Known for her abstract impressionist landscapes based on field studies, Anne will focus on
painting the Escalante/Grand Staircase landscape from direct study. Students will begin
indoors with a quick introduction, then go directly on location via a car caravan. Demonstrations
and critiques will be made with water mixable oils as the chief medium, although watercolor will
also have personal instruction.
Learn how to interpret the subject, color mixing, values, use plein air equipment, and see in
terms of mass and form rather than detail and line. Bring a camera as we'll discuss the benefits
and drawbacks of photo references. In the field, special emphasis will be placed on how to
select an image and organize and simplify the overwhelming amount of information in the
landscape.
This is a perfect class for those who want to begin painting outdoors, as well as advanced
painters who want to refresh their skills. Please bring a sack lunch as we will be out all day.
Participants must be 16 years and older. Suggested materials list will be emailed well in
advance of class.
