This workshop will offer hands-on, individualized instruction with Neil Sherman - winner of the 2024 PAGM Best Body of Work grand prize and nationally acclaimed plein air painter of the northern wilds. Neil has ventured far into the BWCAW, by canoe and on skis, to capture the unique qualities of sky, water, and boreal forest in all seasons. His studied approach to composition, value, and chroma offers an opportunity for students to gain greater understanding and increase problem-solving skills when confronting all of Nature's complexity with a paintbrush.
OPM will provide beverages and buy lunch for delivery, taking into account participants' food preferences and restrictions. Weather permitting, the group can be outside the Rec Hall using the picnic tables or inside at activity tables.
What to bring:
- Fixer-upper painting if you'd like Neil's help, or fresh panel/surface
- Camp stool or chair
- Sketch/notebook and pencil
- Painting supplies
- Sun/rain/bug protection
