Plein Air Painting in Cortona, Italy

Workshop May 30th - June 6th, 2009

Picture Yourself…

among the sights and sounds of romantic Tuscany, surrounded by
olive groves, vineyards, centuries-old buildings, winding roads, and vibrant sunlight.

Experience…
the joy of painting en plein air in a relaxed and inspiring atmosphere with expert instruction
from a nationally known artist and instructor amid camaraderie of a small group.

Enjoy…
real Italian cuisine, delightful Tuscan wines, historic breath-taking vistas
and the warm hospitality of Cortona’s local people.

This five day workshop will maintain an informative, productive and causal atmosphere. Robert alternates between starting each day with a brief outdoor lecture or an hour long demo. He spends the biggest portion of each day rotating from easel to easel offering encouragement and direction.  Emphasis will be on the use of a limited palette, the writings of John F. Carlson, and the writings of Edgar Payne.  Particular attention will be given to developing the power of observation, Sargent’s five types of light and the four value planes.
