Next Session: TBA
Cost: $160
supply
list
Want to develop skill at catching the ever-changing light conditions while painting outdoors? Always wanted to learn about plein air painting but have been hesitant to try it? Need some inspiration to kick-start your work? This class is for you!
Join Dean Taylor Drewyer, award-winning oil painter, for two intensive days of painting landscapes on location. Dean will walk you through his process for creating dynamic, light-filled paintings. Workshop includes demonstrations and one-on-one instruction. The workshop will commence right at 9:00 am with a brief conversation about strategies for your first works. The key during the two days will be centered around working small panels or canvas (no larger than about 9” x 12”). The guiding theme will be ‘to discover the visual and descriptive power found in simplification of form, emphasis on shadow & light, a limited color scheme, and dynamic compositional space’. Location: Picturesque farm along the Potomac River.About the Artist: Dean Taylor Drewyer has been exhibiting his paintings in the Washington, D.C., area since the early 1970s. His drawings, watercolors and oils can be found in private collections throughout the mid-Atlantic region. In the last fifteen years or so Mr. Drewyer’s work primarily has been concerned with the landscape found in and around western Loudoun County, the close-by stretches of the Potomac River, and the area
around Lake Meddybemps in the furthest reaches of eastern Maine. Mr. Drewyer received his Master of Fine Arts degree in Painting from
the George Washington University in 1986. While studying at G.W. he was awarded the David Lloyd Kreeger Purchase Award for painting as well as a GTA Fellowship. Mr. Drewyer has just completed his 32th year with Loudoun County Public Schools.
