Studio on Nantucket: Summer Light
Nantucket Light 2010 will be an intensive, in-depth painting experience that will use Plein Air painting approach as a jumping off point to the Summer landscape. Initially we will look at the techniques of Corot, Constable, Turner and others. Our investigation will move quickly through to contemporary approaches and attitudes. Exploring the landscape in broad interpretation will be encouraged; from the macro to the micro, fauna, flora and wildlife could become subjects. Also use of the camera and working from photographs will be explored. Slide shows, demonstrations, one on one meetings, group critiques as well as working outside and in the studio will comprise our activity. Come energized and prepared to get a lot of painting done!
During their stay, students will be housed at Gouin Village, a complex close to the shops and restaurants of historic downtown Nantucket. Classes will be held at one of the Nantucket Artists Association studios in town.
