This class will cover the basic principles of oil painting with regard to painting the historic Aquinnah (Gay Head) Cliffs. Various photos that Douglas provides from the area will be used to help capture the grandeur and power of these cliffs in this 2 day workshop. Includes interesting and memorable discussions on composition, massing, building form, light and shadow: and depending on your own style, knowing when a work is finished (learning how to not overwork your painting). Douglas delivers sound principles of painting that are an incredible foundation for your painting, whether a beginner or seasoned  professional. After a brief morning intro Douglas will introduce the DuMond palette, which he has found to be a lifesaver, and he will assist students with mixing. He will review individual students a few times during each session and tailor instruction to help everyone’s skills develop at a comfortable rate. Demos and individual discussions/instruction will help each student begin to reach the preliminary goals they are striving to meet. Plan to bring notebook/sketchbook and enjoy some demos along with some great stories to help you remember these essential  principles.
