Painting outside from observation is so direct! Yes, there are many techniques and generalizations you can learn, but it can also be as simple as going outside, finding something that interests you, and painting what you see. In this class you will learn the essentials of value, color and composition with an approach that is grounded in intuition, spontaneity and direct observation rather than reliance on set rules and techniques. Open to all levels of experience.

    David Gordon received a BFA from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. He explored many types of painting before plein air (painting outdoors) became his main focus. He creates one-session paintings as well as larger pieces painted solely outdoors in many sessions over the course of several weeks or a month or more. His process is grounded in intuition, spontaneity, and direct observation rather than reliance on set rules and techniques.
