In this plein air workshop, we will explore ways to prioritize the essence of a scene while avoiding over-correcting and adding unnecessary details. Through a series of short painting sessions we will practice by stopping before we think we are finished. This will help improve our early design-decisions, build confidence in our first impressions, and encourage us to appreciate the beauty of imperfection.
