Offered by OLLI with workshop to begin at 7 a.m. each day
The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) is offering a three-day “Plein Air Painting Workshop” at Yavapai Community College’s Sedona Center beginning August 1 at 7 a.m. The workshop will the directed by Dawn Sutherland. It will be run August 1-3.
Ms. Sutherland will demonstrate two basic approaches to beginning a painting, using a viewfinder, sketchpad, and thumbnail sketches, designing a good composition, and carrying it through to a nearly finished painting in each session. Topics taught throughout the workshop are values, shapes, and edges. How to capture a sense of distance and depth in a painting, plus working effectively with shadows will be stressed. Students should have good familiarity with their equipment and some previous painting and workshop experience.
