**Join us as we paint outdoors and enjoy the beauty of nature!** The focus will be on techniques for painting trees, including simplifying the big shapes and noisy details, how to use temperature shifts and value ranges to make your paintings sing, and how to use a combination of hard and soft edges to help strengthen your painting.
The session will begin with a demo, followed by ample time for you to paint, during which you will get personalized input from the instructor. Demos will be done in oil paints, but you may use any paints of your choice during the day of plein air painting in the park.
