• In this workshop, Michael Broshar will lead a study on how to incorporate figures in Plein air painting. We will begin with a brief study of the figure, and how to plan for figures in a painting, considering scale, proportion, relationship to the overall composition, and level of detail. We will develop quick sketches to use as a reference, both initially in pencil and and then in paint media. This work will be done in the studio on the morning of the first day.
• We will plan to visit the Farmer’s Market in the late morning in order to develop a number of figure sketches. In the afternoon, we will use these sketches to develop figures in a Plein air painting.
• On the second day, we will begin with a critique session, followed by an outdoor sketching and painting session.
• All outside activities will be weather permitting.
