In this introductory class, students can expect to learn about the ways that natural light and shadows interact with the landscape, how to select a strong composition, and how to simplify complex scenes for clarity and impact. This class is great for artists new to plein air painting or those looking to strengthen their foundational skills. All experience and skill levels are welcome!
Meet on the upper patio at the J.R. Simplot Lodge.
