The Niagara Falls area is a beautiful area for painting and family fun both on the US and Canadian side. This is the only workshop offered in Niagara Falls, USA.
Each day starts with a morning demonstration and lecture. The demo will focus on bold composition with under painting. You will learn how to make quick decisions and simplify for the most impact. We will discuss color relationships, detail, form and edges. Put the brakes on and learn to 'bake the cake' before you apply the frosting (accents). Participants will then paint until we break for lunch.
Lunch is on your own (you are encouraged to brown bag your lunch on location). During lunch, we will critique works in progress.
Participants are asked to start a second painting for the afternoon session so it is suggested to work no larger than 12x16. Supervised painting until 4p.m. each day. This workshop is focused on making you a faster and better painter, capturing the essence of the landscape. Sessions are 9-4p.m. Sunday and Monday. The workshops offer focus on working in acrylic/oils or watercolor but, you may work in medium of your choice. One of the most beautiful painting locations in North America!

Jacqueline paints en plein air (outdoors).
