Paint Dexter Workshop w/ Todd Zuithof
In this plein air painting workshop, you’ll learn to start the story by recognizing beauty, making a compelling statement about it, and then presenting it with style.
Relying on award winning experience and traditional plein air tools, I will set out to help you improve your plein air adventure. To help keep the goal in focus, the participants will be encouraged to utilize the foundational aspects of concept, composition, and color. Painters at all skill levels will be challenged and encouraged to up their game and walk away with an augmented painterly approach and an improved plein air skill set.
Throughout our time together we will explore a more granular analysis of the three previously mentioned c’s. Principles to look forward to include: Notan, form, space and order, perspective, and the power of leveraging color attributes. The importance of a cohesive presentation and how it relates to you personally will also be one of the workshop’s highlights. These principles will be points of interest for the class, but the overriding emphasis will be on putting it all into practice and striving to get the results efficiently onto canvas. I look forward to a successful, uplifting experience and encouraging you as you improve your skills to become a more noteworthy plein air painter!
Attendees can look forward to the joy and challenge of painting from life “on location” in the liberating spirit of plein air. Todd will be painting at times as well as providing individual feedback to artists in order to reinforce their unique style. Group critiques will be leveraged in order to provide constructive peer insight for attending artists.
I will be discussing and demonstrating my approach and style with oils, but acrylic, gouache, watercolor, and pastel are all welcome and lend well to plein air painting.
