Oregon Outback Plein Air Workshop - September 24-30, 2024

Led by Jordan Walker, award winning landscape painter, illustrator, and teacher based in Eugene, Oregon, during this 6-day, 5-night workshop we will explore the principles of landscape painting; including composition, value, depth, and color. We will paint directly from life in the incredible wild spaces around the Summer Lake region. We will paint together through 4 days of exciting demonstration and instruction, and the final class day will be open to exploration. We’ll spend our first day on the Playa campus, concentrating on fundamentals with thumbnail drawings and monochromatic paintings. During the following days, we’ll work with a split primary palette and learn to record some of the subtleties of nature while altering what we see to create compelling images. This class will also touch on essential techniques of oil painting such as paint application, edge control, and color mixing. While oil is my medium of choice, students are welcome to bring any other painting mediums that they have experience working in and would like to try in the field. Prior painting experience is preferred, but beginners are also welcome.
