  • Workshop with Jack Dant

    Sunday, September 17 • 9:00am – 12:00pm "Moving Water" at Temperance River Swimming Hole
  • "Moving Water: Rivers, Streams and Waterfalls"

    This workshop offers an overview of considerations when painting moving water in a plein air setting.  A demonstration will address techniques used to capture the ever-changing, complex subject of moving water.  Participants will then have an opportunity to practice newly learned insights by starting a painting of their own. The course will cover the following topics:


    ·       Scene selection
    ·       Value considerations
    ·       Composition
    ·       Challenges and tips associated with painting moving water on location

    What to bring:

    • Sketch/notepad and pencil
    • Painting supplies
    • The course will be taught in oils; however alternate media are welcome
    • Preferred paint palette: include a warm and cool version of each of the primary colors, white, black, alizarine crimson
    • A panel or stretched canvas (I prefer linen) toned with a slightly warm color. I use a thin layer of raw umber mixed with a touch of white.

    • Sack lunch and water/beverage
