Painting on location at the beautiful Trium Winery

Plein air, a French word, literally translates as ‘open air’, and is defined as painting or drawing done outside, in the open air. The equivalent term in Italian would be alfresco. These works were taken directly from nature, and infused with a feeling of the open air.

Workshop Description

Gabriel will instruct during this 2-day plein air painting workshop capturing the beautiful Southern Oregon landscape. The rolling hills and vineyards are a stunning setting to paint your masterpiece.  The workshops will cover the fundamental principles of painting and composition with a focus on creating a sense of depth in your work.  Drawing, value, and color, will be used to create paintings with a strong sense of design. On location demos and one on one instruction will help to clarify some of the more technical concepts. The workshop will be intensive for all skill levels and limited to 10 students to ensure individual attention.
