What to Expect:

Immerse yourself in the seasonal changes and rural beauty of Albemarle County

as we paint outdoors at historic Portaferry Farm in Batesville, VA. Working from

observation, we will build foundational skills while exploring color, light, shape,

composition, and mark-making.

The beauty and complexity of nature will be our muse as we learn to simplify

forms, untangle the parts from the whole, and create dynamic paintings that

reflect a powerful and personalized visual language. Students will learn a

framework for observational painting that is independent of style, allowing for

the discovery of their own artistic temperament and authentic interpretation of

the natural world.
