Plein Air Workshop - Historic Charleston and surrounding areas

Mary will take you through each stage of creating a plein air painting, from choosing a subject right through to completion with demonstrations and plenty of encouragement and guidance.

Some of the key areas will include: dynamic compositions, tonal values and color mixing, soft and hard edges, loose and fresh brush work and how to create depth and make everything relate and harmonize in your painting.

At the end of the workshop, students will come away with a greater understanding and experience of how to approach a plein air painting from start to finish plus the next steps required for their own plein air journey.

Mary delivers an informative yet relaxed retreat. She is friendly and enthusiastic and shares loads from her years of being a professional artist.

Each day will start promptly at 10:00 (9:30 - 10:00 allow for setting up gear).

Workshop is styled and tailored to instruct at your level. Beginner to experienced skill levels welcome.
