Explore the basic beauty and principles of landscape oil painting with a favorite TSKW instructor. Painting out-of-doors, en plein-air in the quaint Old Town neighborhood surrounding our campus will be a major focus of the study, after the essential basics are covered. Discussions and lectures will focus on composition, massing, building form, light and shadow, developing atmospheric distance, and learning how to not overwork your painting.
Students will mix basic strings of color for painting out-of-doors, with an emphasis on capturing the time of day, atmosphere and geographical elements in a quick concise way. Larger more finished works will be done on subsequent days using studies as a roadmap. David’s approach gives students an opportunity to grow and develop, and includes demonstrations and individualized instruction.
Plan to bring notebook/sketchbook and enjoy some demos along with some great stories to help you remember these principles that are the foundation of Douglas’ teaching , www.douglasdavid.com)
Douglas David has painted his way across the country, capturing the beauty and spirit of the things he loves- tranquil country landscapes, sunrises and sunsets on his favorite beaches, a simple pitcher of spring lilacs or peonies, a lemon, lime or a slice of watermelon on a checked tablecloth. Paintings that reflect comfort, warmth meaning and simplicity: similar to everything important to him- his close knit family, life-long friendships, creatively fulfilling work and giving his best. A recipient of numerous regional and national awards and honors, Douglas’ teaching is a way of giving back and sharing some of his journey with those who choose to study with him.
