Description

Plein Air Painting Workshop with Syd Hale
Date: Friday-Sunday, July 25-27, 2025
Time: 9:00am-12:00pm
Cost: $175 Members / $195 Non-Members

Syd will share a way of “seeing”, as taught at the Cape School of Art. In this workshop, you will emphasize light by pushing color in ways you may not have done before. In your landscapes we will see a fuller spectrum of color in our shadows and light plains, and create a stimulating illusion of warmth or coolness, experience a more joyful approach to applying color, and in the process, more awareness to the effect of light in our natural
world.

By using a pallet knife, we can avoid that urge to fuss over detail and we can simplify how we build color and keep our paint from becoming muddy.  Using masonite boards or something similar will enable our paint to spread more freely as well as ease of removing paint (scraping). Canvas boards are not recommended because of the small groves that “catch” paint and make palette knife painting more difficult. Employing a good palette knife is essential, but a few brushes also welcomed.

This is a suggested list of oil or water-soluble oil colors I recommend… a warm and cool color of each.  I do not recommend acrylics or watercolor in my workshop.  If you have colors you love working with, of course feel free to bring them.)

Cad Yellow light or similar
