Landscape Painting with Gregory Blue
October 10 @ 10:00 am - 2:00 pm

Experience the landscape firsthand in this four-session outdoor painting course taught by Studio Incamminati faculty member Gregory Blue. Held on four Saturdays in October at Natural Lands protected places – Stroud Preserve, ChesLen Preserve, Stoneleigh: a natural garden and Pier 68 on the Philadelphia Waterfront. The class will give students the opportunity to paint directly from nature while exploring composition, color, light, atmosphere, and the challenges of working en plein air.
Each session will take place at a different preserved landscape in the Philadelphia area, offering students a variety of natural environments and subject matter. Through demonstrations, individual instruction, and sustained painting, students will develop their ability to observe, simplify, and translate the landscape into a compelling work of art.
