Summer Workshop on McKenzie River August 2011

"Fishing and Painting"
American Verismo - Plein Air Painting
Jerry Ross

"Angel flight Road" by Jerry Ross

Join us for this very special painting workshop with accomplished artist, longtime painting instructor and arts supporter, Jerry Ross. This summer Jerry will conduct this unique summer plein air painting workshop at the picturesque “Angel Flight Artists’ Retreat” along the beautiful McKenzie River in Leaburg, Oregon.

Students are encouraged to bring their fishing gear. We will be fishing during breaks. Students can opt to pitch their tents and camp out overnight.

Designed for students of all skill levels, this is a wonderful opportunity to paint outdoors with an ensemble of artists. In this four-day workshop, you will learn the basics of plein air painting. You will review how to paint from nature by first making a preliminary pencil drawing followed by the use of a simplified palette outdoors. You will also learn what elements create a successful composition and how to begin and finish your paintings. You will explore the idea of “color pool” mixing as you practice color mixing techniques.

Each day, Jerry will complete a painting demonstration for you to observe his technique and ask questions. You will then begin work on your own painting, putting into practice the skills and techniques Jerry has demonstrated. Individual and group critiques will help strengthen your paintings. Instruction will be in oils but students are invited to use the medium of their choice.

Saturdays & Sundays, 9:00am-3:00pm, August 13-14 & August 20-21
