Plein-air Painting and Photography Workshop
MAY 13-23, 2009

Call Thea at 505 982-4561 or email her, thea@zianet.com  to reserve your place on this exciting adventure today.

Come along for a great French Vacation Workshop.

 I'll be joining a really fine watercolor instructor, and great friend, Kathy Dunham (Check out Kathy's website here), along with a small group of around ten people, for a ten day workshop experience.

I will be demonstrating ink and watercolor sketching for this workshop, and I'll be available at all times to help both painters and photographers with framing, composition, lighting, planning, correcting for conditions, and finding the heart of the subject so that participants may work in their chosen discipline, whether plein air or studio painting, oil, watercolor, pastel or photography. I will also be happy to share my (Un)limited palette (the use of only the primaries. (See below)

A firm believer in “you learn to do by doing”, I will help you find your own voice, develop your own “eye”, rather than simply showing you a technique or an approach to copy. I will encourage you to express your own vision and make suggestions to help you improve your work and achieve your goals as an artist, whether in painting or photography.

While exploring the beauty of the Dordogne, you will also explore the beauty and insight to be found in your own inner responses. ( I last visited there in 1984, and have longed to return ever since. My visit to the caves was a life-changing experience.) More on that, when we visit them together.

Both photographers and painters are welcome, as are all levels from beginner to advanced. Those using digital will, of course, have the advantage of seeing and discussing their work at each day’s end.

Students should be familiar with their cameras, as we will be focused on the seeing side of photography, rather than on the technical. Be sure to bring along your manual, just in case it’s needed, and your laptop, if you have one, with your favorite image editing program.

I hope to see you in France! Feel free to call or email me if you have any questions.
