Discover a new way of seeing color! Good color, or color that expresses the light key of nature, can make even the most mundane subject matter strikingly beautiful. “Anything under the sun is beautiful if you have the vision—it is the seeing of the thing that makes it so,” from Hawthorne on Painting. Camille sees a remarkable change in her students’ work after only one day of painting. They begin to see color in the shadows. Many students say they have discovered a world of color that has changed them forever! 

We will start out the first day doing still life study outdoors which will prepare us to tackle the landscape. The next two days will be on location painting the landscape and Camille will be teaching the structure of the landscape. On the last day, we will do color studies of the figure (in the Hensche/Hawthorne “mudhead” tradition). We will concentrate on the development of strong starts, and focus on expressing the big masses, light key, and aerial perspective with color. Camille will be doing demonstrations throughout the workshop. Class size is limited to ensure individual attention and instruction.
