3-Day Plein Air Painting in Malibu June 29, 2007

In this workshop you will learn how to paint what you see, not what you think you see. Learn how to interpret Nature in terms of paint, using light and color to create form. Color relationships, design/composition and all the aspects of painting outdoors will be discussed as well. What better time or place to study color than sun-drenched summer in Malibu, California? Ample time will be given each day to the demo(s) by the instructor as well as individual painting time for the students. Visit www.ericmerrell.com for more info.
