Plein Air Workshop with Susan Hope Fogel
The goal of this workshop is to give artists a logical step-by-step process for creating a plein air painting. There is an overwhelming amount of information to process when painting outdoors…. Through demos and discussion I hope to break down the process into simple steps leading to the construction of a successful Plein air painting.
One of my favorite quotes is by Hans Hoffman, “ Eliminate the unnecessary so the necessary may speak”. Although keeping this in mind while painting any subject it is critically important to hold this thought while plein air painting.
Once you have determined your subject…the fun begins… You will have a lot to consider and stay on track with your original image to

Students will learn the importance of color, composition, and value, and how each particular painting medium handles these elements.

Basic student level materials will be supplied, but students are encouraged to bring specific materials if they have them. Advanced Students may bring their own project or idea, and the instructor can assist the student with completing the project. Every Month the skill building painting program will cycle through a new painting discipline. Each month will have a particular medium and style associated with it.

Plein Air Workshop with Susan Hope Fogel
The goal of this workshop is to give artists a logical step-by-step process for creating a plein air painting. There is an overwhelming amount of information to process when painting outdoors…. Through demos and discussion I hope to break down the process into simple steps leading to the construction of a successful Plein air painting.
One of my favorite quotes is by Hans Hoffman, “ Eliminate the unnecessary so the necessary may speak”. Although keeping this in mind while painting any subject it is critically important to hold this thought while plein air painting.
Once you have determined your subject…the fun begins… You will have a lot to consider and stay on track with your original image to
