Impressionistic Plein Air Oil Paint with Michele Byrne

---

Visiting artist, Michele Byrne, is coming back to Key West for a fun, creative 4-day workshop.

Four Day Workshop - Plein Air  – Indoors first day, outdoors next three days

Learn to create dramatic paintings with palette knife and impressionistic brushwork. This class will be held indoors the first day. On the first day, Michele will be teaching the basic rules of perspective as well as creating a strong value study. In the afternoon the class will paint from live models in various poses to practice capturing body language.

Participants will learn how to design a painting through value and strong composition that will lead the eye through the painting to tell a story.  The last three days, the class will head outside, weather permitting, and practice what's been  learned. Each day there will be short demos and in the afternoon I will spend time with each student helping them through the process.

These will be fun and inspirational days on the beautiful island of Key West!
