The class will include a demonstration, and I will discuss my painting process. I will assist you in creating your own plein air painting, advancing your artistic skills, and developing your personal artistic style. Beginner to advanced painters are welcome to enjoy this fun and informative class. Composition, value, color theory, atmospheric perspective, techniques and more will be addressed. I will instruct you about seeing the world as a realist artist sees it. I will be painting in oil, but you are welcome to work in a different medium such as acrylic, pastel, or watercolor, and I will instruct you in the medium you choose and compare it to my approach in oil.

For outdoor painting, you will want to wear a hat, use sunscreen, and have bug spray. Please bring an easel to set up outdoors. A limited number of French easels are available to borrow upon request in advance.

Students provide their own materials. Here is a list for general oil painting supplies and here is a list of supplies for plein air painting, but it does not have to be strictly followed. You are welcome to use the materials you have and work in a different medium than oil.

I am having a Solo Exhibit with 25 of my paintings at the Stony Ford Golf Course Clubhouse.

I have three paintings in the Goshen Art League’s exhibit Greens of Spring that are on display at the Goshen Music Hall from February 8 – May 3, 2023.  In person, viewing hours are Monday – Friday from 9am-5pm and by appointment.
