From the thumbnail sketch to the finished painting, you’ll learn to tackle the subject in a way that is direct, simple, fresh, and honest. You’ll engage in fun exercises designed to focus on value, color, and shape. From that foundation, you’ll explore edges, atmospheric perspective, color relationships, composition, and mood. Most importantly you’ll learn to paint with greater expression through demonstrations, group discussions, painting exercises, and plenty of individual instruction. Learn to approach the landscape in enthusiasm and confidence.

Aaron Schuerr has embarked on solo plein air painting treks across the Grand Canyon and deep into the mountains of the American West.
