Nancie King Mertz: Perspective and Plein Air
October 21-23, 2022;
3 day studio and plein air in-person workshop in Richmond, VA
We plan to paint outdoors, weather permitting, to observe some of the many beautiful sites in the Richmond area and to learn how to create realistic atmosphere and perspective in our drawings and paintings. In the event of inclement weather, we do have indoor locations reserved and will paint from photos taken locally in Richmond. Each day Nancy will have a critique of work we have done to help inform us, laying the groundwork for our future success with perspective.

"If the perspective is off in the structures in your painting, it is apparent to even the untrained eye. If you paint landscapes only to avoid structures, does the atmospheric perspective read correctly to show depth in your painting? Join me for a fun studio & plein air 3-Day Workshop!" - Nancie King Mertz, PSA-MP, CPP-MP, IAPS-MC&EP

Tony Allain - Mood & Atmosphere with fresh eyes
May 12-14, 2023 (Workshop #1- Three days in person)
May 15 & 16, 2023 (Workshop #2- Two days in person)
Have you ever wanted to bring a looser and more painterly feel to your work loaded with juicy colour and flooded with light?
Fear not. The cavalry is coming!!!
Join me and I will share some of my working methods concentrating on painting landscapes and seascapes that delight you and excite the viewer. Using our reference photos, we can bring some fresh colour and a more painterly feel to our works. We will look at choosing editing and cropping our reference photographs. We will learn how to find the point of interest from the photo. I can supply a selection of reference photographs for you to experiment with.
Our aim is to capture the essence of the subject in an intuitive way with the freedom of ‘brushwork’ that has its roots in the alla prima work of the French Impressionists, giving a liveliness and vigorous mark that is instrumental in expressing the mood and atmosphere on a subject............. I wish to share my passion with you.
