Description: This session is a continuation of the morning's lesson. It's designed for those who want to try outdoor painting or seasoned plein air painters who were unable to attend the morning session. Choose the combo class in class listing to attend both and get bundle discount. Participants should already know how to use their chosen medium (though the instructor can assist with oils and watercolors). The session will include two short demos: one with water-mixable oils on oil paper, and another with watercolors. Students will select a subject, plan their painting using tools discussed in the morning session (such as notans, value studies, color proportional squares, and directional lines), and then have time to complete a painting. The goal is to create a painting that captures the feeling of the day in their unique style. This Workshop Includes: ·    Individual instruction ·    Group critique ·    A watercolor demonstration ·    A water-mixable oil demonstration About Deena Ball: Deena Ball is a nationally renowned landscape painter.
