The Roger Dale Brown Plein Air Workshop hosted by the Gadsden Museum of Art, April
6-9, ticks all the boxes when it comes to a hands-on painting experience. And, each student has the option of sending
one workshop artwork to the Southeastern Plein Air Invitational Exhibition—an event
that follows the workshop!
Expert
instruction, on-location painting, and the chance to exhibit in the Gadsden
Museum of Art galleries—the ideal workshop experience for the plein air artist. Here are
some of the things artists in the workshop will explore:
·
Seeing different types of light.· Using atmospheric perspective to capture a feeling of space.
· Representing the essence of a scene through the “art of comparison”.
· Using hard and soft edges to draw attention to the focal point.
· Mixing an infinite palette of greens.
“I try to explain things from a
student’s perspective, at each student’s individual level. I put myself in their shoes remembering when
I was at their stage. That makes it easier to explain situations at each unique
stage.” ~Roger Dale Brown
