Kathie Wheeler |
|
|
For all of you who dream of painting
beautiful landscapes but can’t seem to |
|
|
make the time for it in your
everyday life, or paint regularly and would like |
|
|
to paint with a lively group, maybe
learn something new—this workshop is |
|
|
for you! |
|
|
Kathie begins with a demonstration of
her classical approach to landscape |
|
|
painting “en plein air”, working outside
directly in nature. You will learn the |
|
|
tools and techniques of this
exciting art form and have plenty of time to paint. Let the scenic river
valleys, roll |
|
|
rolling hills and beautiful bluffs of this rural community located in the
“driftless” region of Southwestern Wisconsin |
|
|
inspire you. Kathie will provide one-on-one instruction in composition,
color, paint application and has lots of tips, |
|
|
experiences and enthusiasm to share with you about this style of oil
painting. All skill-levels welcome. |
