Landscape Plein Air Painting Bernard Dellario

March 6 - 8, 2024 - 9:30 am - 1 pm each day

Get outdoors and paint the unlimited beauty of Key West!

This session will focus on how to approach the unique aspects of outdoor landscape

painting. Students will be taken through many drills and exercises with topics to include:

 How to choose subject matter

 Working with a limited palette

 Simplifying complex elements of the landscape

 Capturing the subject quickly and accurately

 Creating strong compositions

 Value/ color theory and atmospheric perspective.  


Demonstrations, group critiques and individual personal instruction are included. Class

will be taught mostly from the oil painting and gouache perspective. You can use any

medium you like, if you are comfortable with how to use it.

Supply List (gouache)

1. Gouache Paint Colors, (Holbein. M Graham, Winsor Newton but any good quality gouache will

do. Be sure that is NOT gouache with acrylic in it). This is the basic color set which can be used

to create a solid painting. You can add any other colors might interest you but they are not

necessary.

a. Cadmium Red or Primary Red

b. Primary Magenta or Alizarin Crimson

c. Cadmium Yellow or Primary Yellow

d. Yellow Ochre

e. Ultramarine Blue

f. Burnt Sienna

g. Permanent White (Large Tube)

2. Brushes (Synthetic brushes for watercolor/acrylic. Such as Princeton Umbria Short Handle)

a. Flat Size 12

b. Flat Size 6

c. Round Size 6

d. Round Size 2

3. Disposable Paper Palette pad - 9x12 size

4. Watercolor paper, any other good quality in pad or individual sheets, no larger than 11 x 14. I

prefer hot press but please get whatever you like. If you have the opportunity, you may consider

applying gesso or matt medium to some of the paper. It gives a different painterly surface with

which to work.

5. About a 16x20 size rigid board or foam core to hold palette and paper

6. Masking Tape

7. Pencil or charcoal for sketching

8. Small pack stool to sit on

9. Container to hold water for cleaning brushes
