Calvin Liang Workshop: Plein Air to Studio
Master California artist, Calvin Liang, will be returning to Nashville September 23-26th to teach a 4 day Plein Air to Studio Workshop at Warehouse 521.
The first two days will be outdoor painting and the last two days will be spent working on a single studio painting based on studies and photos you take on location. Calvin will begin with a demonstration then he will spend time with each student throughout the rest of the day.
Plein air painting is a foundational part of training the eye to better understand the concepts of composition, design, and color harmony. The lessons will include:
How to plan a composition that will be effective for the artist’s intentions and preferences;
How to better see and use warm and cool color in landscape;
How to command hardness and softness of the edges to create space in a painting;
How to simplify the subject matter through the use of basic design, value, color and drawing skills;
How to consider the reasons for different paint surface textures, and brushstroke direction over the forms; and
How to get the best possible results in a short time.
