Experience painting "En Plein Aire" using the Alla Prima method in the beautiful landscape of Cape Cod. This workshop is designed to give the artist greater content and personal meaning to their work. We will focus on the fundamentals of outdoor painting, traditional landscape composition and efficient painting procedures which allow the artist to capture light, color, shape, value, atmospheric perspective and textural control necessary to create well organized, "readable "plein air paintings.

Examine pictorial awareness and emphasis on value conservation, developing the necessary skills of controlled thinking problem solving, how and when to combine thinking with feeling and efficient, logical methods are also included.
This workshop is valuable to any level of experience from the complete beginner to the longtime professional seeking to improve their work. Ultimately this is meant to be of use to the artist that needs to integrate "working from life" with going beyond the "quick sketch". One or several paintings will be attempted each day so skills will be honed and sheer excitement will be experienced. This workshop will inspire and empower you!

Any painting media welcome.

Kenn Backhaus will be instructing a workshop next fall in Tuscany.  It was his wish that former students be notified and have opportunity to register for this class, before it is heavily advertised to the general public.
 
This will be an outdoor oil painting landscape class.  Kenn plans to focus on "capturing that fleeting moment of light".  The class size will be strictly limited to 8 participating artists. The venue that has been chosen for the workshop will lend itself to a relaxed atmosphere, with lots of time for serious painting.
 
To view more information on the workshop, please go to www.susantruitt.com "Workshops-Open Air Italy".
I can also send you more information on planning travel to this area, as well as registration material.
 
I hope that this may be of interest to you.  It promises to be a very special week with a great instructor.
 
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
