ESCAPE THE NEW YORK WINTER AND TO BEAUTIFUL TUCSON for a week-long plein-air landscape painting workshop. Using the backdrop of the breathtaking Tucson mountains and the grand sky, we will observe and learn to paint outdoor light in this unique part of the country using the concepts of the Prismatic Palette. The workshop will focus on how the artist can achieve outdoor atmospheric effects with paint. The workshop will include demonstrations in composition, light, and color and will focus on daily hands-on instruction.
