About the workshop

Description of En Plein- Air Workshop

Mary Rose’s workshops include short daily demos and individual guidance.

Emphasis is on simplifying a scene over a short span of time to capture the light and atmospheric conditions of the day.

Learn to see the big relationships of contrasting shapes and silhouettes to create a strong value pattern within the painting.

Review how these essential studies are important when creating larger more developed work in the studio.
