Outdoor Painting Workshop in Morgan Hill + Uvas Reservoir County Park

Bring your watercolors, acrylic or oil paint for this explorative workshop! This course will focus on freeing you up to create, tapping into the childlike creativity that is too often lost. In this workshop students will focus on the process rather than the result, using plein air as a tool to help aid in this. Whether you are already a plein air painter or not, there is no better teacher for forcing artists to capture color, light, and composition quickly than working outdoors. This course is open to anyone but ideal for artists who have been painting for a while and want to loosen up their style or remove creative blocks.

Day one will be spent in the classroom engaging in a series of exercises focused on painting fast and large. The aim of the exercise will be to loosen up and quickly form visual ideas. Day two will begin by painting outdoors in the landscape, and we will incorporate the exercises from the previous day. At the end of the day we will return to the classroom for an uplifting discussion about the work created.

When: Saturday and Sunday, June 7 & 8, 2025 from 10 AM to 5 PM each day.

Skill Level: Intermediate to Advanced (Beginners welcome!)
