Painting the Spring Garden on Location at Los Poblanos with Michelle Chrisman (Tuesday through Friday)

Don’t miss this opportunity to paint in beautiful garden settings, at  Los Poblanos in the North Valley of Albuquerque. You will learn to work quickly with limited, energetic brush strokes, suggesting rather than rendering reality allowing your paintings to stay fresh and full of life. There will be an emphasis on capturing the affect of luminous, outdoor light using the colors of the spectrum in areas struck by the sun, rather than local color. We will focus on simplifying shapes and values, for contemporary compositions as well as developing color “stories” in your paintings. Michelle is an oil painter and will begin each day with a short demo using both brush and palette knife. All painting mediums and levels of painters, from beginners to professionals, are welcome. Please email Michelle with any questions, MichelleChrisman78@gmail.com. Michelle's work can be viewed on her website:www.MichelleChrisman.com 

Please sign up early; class size is limited to 10 students.
