Landscape painter Bruce Peil is offering a three-day
workshop at his studio in Athens Texas October 23-25. The
fee for all three days is $350. A maximum of 15 students
will be accepted. This will be a studio
/
plein air workshop with the emphasis on learning to capture
a moment in time and the feeling of light in the painting.
While using a limited primary palette, you will learn to mix
the subtle colors that occur in nature and understand how
you did it. Also when to, "Paint what you see, not what you
think you know", and when to, "Paint what you know will
make a better painting, and not just what you see."
All aspects of painting will be discussed. Values, Color,
Contrast, Edges, Perspective, Composition, Equipment, etc.
Bruce and his wife Stacey operate a Bed and Breakfast
/
Artist Retreat that is a short walk from the studio.
