Hoosier Salon New Harmony
2019 Class Workshop Description:

HOW TO “SIMPLY” PLEIN AIR PAINT
October 12, 2019
9 a.m. - 3 p.m.

If you are wanting to plein air paint, but not sure how to go about it, this is the workshop for you! Douglas makes it very simple and is logical about the “how to” and overviews what to think about when setting out to paint. Douglas will overview his palette and concepts his work entails. Students will mix paints and learn to mix basic strings of color to help comprehend the preparation/set up to prepare to paint out-of-doors. Douglas will help students pare down equipment so only the necessities are taken out-of-doors. Students will work on small canvases and the emphasis will be on capturing the time of day, atmosphere and geographical elements as we paint something interesting in Historic New Harmony. This one day Plein Air Workshop will help you become more comfortable with the process of painting out-of-doors.

Douglas’ Biography
Douglas David has painted his way across the country, capturing the beauty and spirit of the things he loves - tranquil country landscapes, sunrises and sunsets on his favorite beaches, a simple pitcher of spring lilacs or peonies, a lemon, lime or a slice of watermelon on a checked tablecloth. Paintings that reflect comfort, warmth meaning and simplicity: similar to everything important to him - his close knit family, life-long friendships, creatively fulfilling work and giving his best. A recipient of numerous regional and national awards and honors, Douglas’ teaching is a way of giving back and sharing some of his journey with those who choose to study with him.
