Painting the Figure in the Landscape
Date & Time: July 28 and 29, 9 am-2 pm
Registration Deadline: July 25
Learn and practice building your skills for observing and capturing the figure when painting outdoors. Through demonstration and one-on-one instruction, David will cover composition, values, perspective, and more. Oil and acrylic painters welcome.
After a career in graphic design and illustration, David returned to his love of fine art. He paints in the studio and on location, regularly traveling to his favorite spots along the shore and in the dunes. He participates in several Plein air events every year and is represented by galleries in Michigan and Hawaii. westerfieldstudio.com
