In-Person and Atelier Live Workshop with Justin Donaldson
August 28-31 : 9am-4pm ET daily
In-Person Workshop
Justin Donaldson joins East Oaks Studio for a boutique workshop exploring plein air landscape painting in gouache. This workshop is limited to six in-person attendees who will receive an exceptional amount of one-on-one instruction. Over four days, we will build an approach to plein air painting and an understanding of gouache, learning how gouache shifts in value and saturation, and develop strategies to predict these shifts in order to master the medium. We will work on abstracting the complexity of painting natural scenes in order to find clarity, and will focus on strategies to effectively paint an accurate impression in a changing environment.
Day 1: Introduction to gouache and its importance in the lives of many plein air painters.
Day 2: Abstraction and finding clarity amidst confusion.
Day 3: Practical strategies for working quickly and accurately.
Day 4: Working on advanced layering, balancing, and finishing projects.
Morning sessions will be spent painting plein air and will be a combination of demonstrations and practical application. These sessions will be livestreamed for our virtual audience.
Afternoon sessions will be spent in the studio, focusing on understanding the medium and learning how to refine plein air studies.
