5 Day Portland-area Plein Art Workshop with Thomas Kitts (August)

Capture the Light and Atmosphere of the Pacific Northwest with a 5 Day Portland-area Plein Art Workshop with Thomas Kitts Dates: August 16 - 20, 2010

This workshop is open to all levels of experience! It is intended for anyone who would like to day-trip out of the Portland area and still get home early in the evening. All painting locations will be easily accessible. Your five days of instruction will focus on how to paint outdoors, under natural light, using oil.

In this workshop, you will learn to solve many of the problems that confront the plein air painter. Instructional emphasis will be placed upon unifying your color, creating a dynamic composition, and how to paint with a swift, yet assured, painterly technique. Most of the instruction will occur outdoors in front of the easel, but you can expect this class to increase your confidence and ability to paint anywhere, anytime -- indoors or out!

As Thomas assesses your strengths and weaknesses, his instruction will be tailored to meet your individual needs, even as you paint with the rest of the group. A portable easel and some basic oil painting supplies will be required. However, you may be surprised at how little gear is actually needed, and how much can be accomplished with it!

About Thomas: Thomas has over 25 years experience painting en plein air in the Oregon and California area. He taught painting and drawing for ten years at the Pacific Northwest College of Art, and is well-respected for his ability to instruct and inspire his students. He has been juried into three prestigious Plein Air events for Summer 2010, and will be leading two other workshops as well -- with a third one now in the proposal stage to be held on Vancouver Island, Canada, in late September. Please visit his website for more information.

To register for Thomas's 5-Day Portland Plein Air workshop, contact him at thomas(at)thomaskitts(dot)com
