Following up on Lynn’s successful workshop on painting big, bold landscapes, she will now help you explore the use of plein air color studies (weather permitting) and reference photographs to continue pursuing bigger and better studio landscape paintings. In addition, she will help you adapt an Impressionist style of painting, one that gives viewers the surprise of imagination and discovery. You will look closely at your paintings to see the abstraction of colors, shapes, and brushwork; and when you step back from the canvas you will see the representation of a subject in detail. “I want to help workshop participants make the journey that has captivated me so they can present their own view of the world,” she explains.
