With a limited palette of only 7 colors you can mix any color in any value that you want. In this class we'll use this knowledge to mix a range of bright and neutral colors, creating color schemes for each of your paintings. We'll focus on landscape paintings from photos. I know you'll love the result!

You Can Learn to Paint!

To know how to start, and what to do at every step.
I know you can do it, because I've done it myself, and I've taught many others to do the same.

Plein Air Painting Workshops
Plein Air Painting in Maine - Summer 2023
Have you been wondering what it's like to paint outside? Discover a love for plein air painting with me on the beautiful coast of Maine. The plein air tradition, popularized by the impressionists in France, is a wonderful way to embrace nature and enjoy your creative side out of doors. We'll review basic fundamentals - value, composition, and color; learn how to paint within Mother Nature's time constraints; and pick up tricks of the trade for painting out of doors. This workshop is ideal for those who have not painted outside previously.
My goal in teaching is one-on-one instruction that you can take home and use on your own work. Mediums include oils and acrylics. This workshop is not yet scheduled. Sign up for my email list at the bottom of this page and I'll let you know the details. |
Upcoming workshops will be announced first to those on my email list and then posted here. You may sign up for my list at the bottom of this page.
I love to travel and can teach a workshop (plein air or studio painting) for your group. Please let me know if you'd like more information on the Contact page in the menu.
Student Comments From Bobbi's Workshops
"Bobbi is very patient and criticizes constructively." "Her demonstrations are effective and she explains concepts in a variety of ways so that everyone understands them." "Bobbi boils things down into simple exercises which allow me to learn first hand what I've read about in books that passed me by." "Bobbi is very organized in how she presents things, which is helpful with so many elements to consider when approaching a painting. This helps create order out of chaos." "The course of instruction was well thought out and we could build on what we learned the day before." |
