Plein Air Painting – Less is More
Instructor: Thomas Bradshaw
2-Day Plein Air Workshop: Saturday & Sunday, November 6 & 7, 2021, 10am - 4pm
Richmond based artist, Thomas Bradshaw, graduated from the Art Institute of Atlanta with a degree in Graphic Design. After graduation he moved to Jackson Hole, WY where his evolution into a plein air artist began to take shape. In this class Thomas will bring his plein air knowledge to the RAL Art Center.
Thomas has a loose and painterly approach which he will be sharing in the two-day class. “This style of painting allows the artist to imply detail without overstating it,” says Thomas. A limited palette will be used to create a textural impression which draws the viewer in for a closer look.
Less is more. Here we will learn to use less . Come learn how to mix from a limited pallet. The less colors you use the less distractions from your goal. . Reserve is strength. The more reserve we have the more we can harness to power of observation. Being able to peel away the unimportant to reveal what it’s showing us in its raw form.
