Plein Air Workshop at Huntsville Art League

I'll be teaching a workshop the last weekend in October at the Huntsville Art League- Three days of instruction (October 26-28) by Robin Roberts for those who have always wanted to get started on painting out of doors! The workshop will cover an introduction to the varieties of gear and supplies, selecting a site and subject, dealing with weather, setting up efficiently, using a limited palette to facilitate mixing those unnameable colors, simplifying the composition for maximum impact. Students will learn powerful compositions, practice mixing colors, receive individual help, and receive cr

itiques upon request. Painting locations are at the Huntsville Botanical Garden and Big Spring Park. Supply list available online and at Huntsville Art League Gallery.

256-534-3860
Friday 6-8 pm, Sat and Sun 9 to 4 pm, $130 non member, or ask for the H.A.L member fee.

Robin paints “Serene and Southern” oil paintings of her favorite subjects of horses, landscapes and figures.

Painting Your Vision Workshop No matter what level is current in your oil painting, its time to step up to the next level. This workshop is designed to add interest in texture and design, emphasize brushwork and edges, and explore new additions to paint techniques. We do this by using traditional methods of direct or alla prima painting, which simply means all we can accomplish in a session using rich paint to make sophisticated edges. We will explore different surfaces that affect the look of an oil painting. And we will use a simple color mixing exercise to give confidence in value and mixing the color you need. Bring your references or use my photos. Demonstrations will give suggestions to add something new to your oil paintings and painting time to bring it all together.
