Paintings by Georgia Artist Marsha Hamby Savage

Painting days are Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 8:30 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. with a break for lunch of about 1 hour. The middle of the day is not an especially good time to paint. In the event of rain, we will paint at Studio Camille -- I will emphasize how to paint from photographs as if you were painting outdoors and/or we will paint from still life.

This three-day plein air workshop is designed for any level artist, from beginner to advanced. Oils, pastels and acrylics may be used (and watercolorists who want plein air experience only may also attend). Each student receives individual instruction and constructive analysis. The class is limited to 15 students, so sign up soon to reserve your spot. Don't miss out on this opportunity to paint in the wonderful North Georgia mountains.

Emphasis is on composition and value, with temperature and color a strong second! There will be added emphasis on quickly creating a thumbnail sketch to work from, blocking in the darks and lights, finding the colors and developing the painting -- but, you will not necessarily finish each painting. This class is not just about painting a pretty painting from start to finish -- but the principles of starting and working through the painting being foremost.
