Plein Air Painting: Alla Prima with Tracy Grisman

Have you ever seen painters out in the field capturing the beauty of the landscape before them, and wished you could do that? Well, you can! Painting outside can be an exhilarating experience. Join expert teaching artist Tracy Grisman for this two-day workshop of painting and drawing in beautiful Fort Worden State Park.

Tracy will go over the plein air basics of alla prima style — art made in one sitting and from life — sharing techniques learned from many years of painting. These two sessions will cover materials and setup, how to choose what to paint, block-in and development, light and shadow, color choices, composition, perspective, edges, and focal point. Join us for a weekend workshop to get you started on a lifelong adventure of learning and creating in the great outdoors!
