This projects goal is to attend a three day plein air workshop, learn about plein air painting (outdoors painting), and the prismatic palette. This educational opportunity will help me create a series of paintings utilizing the landscape. A new series of landscape paintings will be created with some paintings incorporating still life and the figure. Another goal of this project is to become familiar with the genre of plein air painting as a possible artistic endeavor to be encouraged and promoted in Ely MN.
Made 4 paintings/studies outside during the workshop. Learned about the "prismatic palette" and how to use it. Also learned how to set up and care for the equipment needed for painting outside, specifically a field easel and shade/sun umbrella.
