Plein Air Impressionist
Painting Workshop

with David Gallup

July 9-13, 2012

“David Gallup is a luminist in the classical definition of the word, with an ability to capture light in the landscape in a manner unmatched by most contemporary artists. In his paintings, something far greater than scenery is being recorded--it is a sense of place, the spirit of nature, and an impression of light that speaks directly to the soul of the viewer.” ~Allison Malafronte, Staff Writer for American Artist Magazine and Workshop Magazine

Here is the opportunity to paint on beautiful Quadra Island and receive expert instruction and helpful advice from one of the foremost artists of plein air painting, David Gallup. This five-day workshop takes students to different scenic environments on the beaches and in the forests of Quadra where you will create paintings en plein air.

Color theory and plein air basics will be taught, with a focus on distilling a mood or message in your work. There will be a special focus on proper use of the palette, and group critiques will take place daily.

Painters of any level are welcome, though some experience painting outside would be helpful. For students who struggle with the basics, basics will be taught. For more advanced students, art philosophy and composition will be discussed at length.

All students will be coached on finding and refining their personal style, and career/business advice will be freely given. There is a studio available in case of damp weather.
