Get ready to explore the California coast with award-winning artist Aaron Schuerr. Find “the story” in the landscape and paint it in a way that is direct, simple, fresh, and honest.
Along the Carmel area coast, Aaron will give daily painting demonstrations for the class and you will engage in fun painting exercises designed to focus on value, color, and shape. From that foundation, you’ll explore edges, atmospheric perspective, color and shape relationships, composition, and mood. Most importantly you’ll learn to paint with greater intention with Aaron’s help.
Through demonstrations, group discussions, composition walks, painting exercises, and plenty of individual instruction, you will learn to approach the landscape with enthusiasm and confidence. This workshop is open to those who paint in pastel and oil. Aaron easily flows back and forth between the mediums. He will demo in both mediums.
