Plein Air Painting Workshop


























Plein Air Painting Workshop - Von Art Studio
June 18th - 19th 2010
Fri and Sat 10am to 4pm
Instructor: Robert Von
Tuition: $150

Hi Everyone, here are the details on the Plein Air Workshop for next week. We will be painting Friday at Kaufman Gardens just down the street from the Nelson Art Gallery. I painted there yesterday all day and there are a hundred great scenes for paintings right in one easy area for us to work around (see link below for photos of the Gardens). We have several options for Saturday. I will see how you do on Friday and decide. We may either go to Loose Park for larger open scenery or go to one of the students homes for a smaller intimate venue.

Friday we will meet at Kaufman Gardens at 10am.
4800 Rockhill Road, Kansas City, MO (see link below for map).
There is plenty of easy access parking. We will unload supplies and setup for painting and I will do a short demonstration. Afterwards everyone will start their own painting and I will come around to help them individually. You will probably do 2-3 9x12 paintings. We will take several breaks in the shaded areas where there are chairs and tables to relax. Please bring a lunch so we can all take a break together under the shade of the Open Air Pavilion.

Materials List: (see photo below)
1. Portable Easel
2. Canvas Panels
3. Paint (Color List below- I will be painting in oils, you are welcome to use oil or acrylics)
4. Brushes
5. Palette Knives (1 large and 1 small)
6. Odorless Thinner in a leakproof container
7. Paper Towels
8. Pencil, Eraser
9. Plastic Trash Bag (small)
10. Lunch

Optional Items- Small Sketchbook, Viewfinder, Brimmed Hat, Sunscreen, Camera, Lightweight Folding Chair, Container to hold wet Canvas Panels

Oil Color list:
1. Titanium White,
2. Cad Yellow Light
3. Cad Yellow Med
4. Yellow Ochre
5. Cad Red Light
